It
saddens one to think that corruption is like a disease, a welcome disease to
many people in society, it has a habit of spreading to all regions such as Web
ISP's, the BBC and other television networks, the water companies, banks etc.
This all contributes to the acceptance of corrupt cops and Lawyers and will
indeed enable them to grow larger within this public acceptance of corruption '
because they are all at it, aren't they? a phrase one hears so many times. The
Government have proved this so in the recent ' expenses fiddle scandal' that
rocked the foundations of this elite bunch. It hasn't stopped their corruption
or secrecy, they will adapt and carry on with a new design that they hope will
not be detected so easily by the press or any whistleblower. Corruption is
frequently denied yet exists in every country and there is no country or
government free of it. The freedom of information act arrived in 2005 and that
is flawed by certain conditions that still prevent the public from having a
right to know. One hears the word ' transparency in Government ' -- FORGET
IT. IT'S NOT TRUE. The only reason corruption flourishes is the public,
they don't care, they don't mind, and they too indulge in it.

Let
us begin with some other major scams and obvious corruption.

' CORRUPTION
PROBE REVEALS BRIBERY IN PRISON SERVICE '

A CORRUPTION
SCANDAL IN THE PRISON SERVICE was revealed after it was found that inmates
offered bribes of up to £30,000 to secure moves to open jails. Three officers
were suspended at Brixton Prison for accepting bribes. Other officers at other
jails have been suspended for helping prisoners escape and seeking loans from
inmates. Some officers were suspected of running drugs for prisoners and a full
inquiry into the mass corruption emerging is to be investigated thoroughly by
the Met Police?

Taking a risk
there eh?

' PRISON SERVICE
IN DRUGS SUPPLY TO PRISONERS '

CORRUPTION IN THE
PRISON SERVICE revealed that 1300 officers were investigated for illegally
supplying drugs to prisoners. This works out at 13 officers in every prison.
One Officer received 18 months for supplying drugs in exchange for favours. A
woman prison officer Patricia Oillivierre was jailed for 7 years for supplying
Heroine to prisoners. Corruption Squad Officers found a substantial quantity of
drugs in her car.

Recent
investigations have revealed that 16 more prison officers are currently under
investigation.

'Prison Drug
Problem Exposed by Whistleblower '

PASSING THE BUCK,
TYING THE GOVERNOR'S HANDS, that's what has led to the abuse of drugs in prisons
according to an insider who worked as a Governor in the Prison system from 1993
to 1999. He puts the blame squarely with the Chief Inspectors who 'made a
significant contribution to facilitating drug trafficking in prisons' The
Inspectorate continually criticised and undermined attempts by Prison Governors
to restrict drug trafficking, especially through domestic visiting areas.
Inspectors did not approve of stringent checks as they thought it might damage
'meaningful family relationships' which made things more easier for the drugs to
pass and the Governor unable to interfere. They actively, through
recommendations and policy changes, left a legacy of disabling staff who were
keen to restrict and cut down the drugs being brought into prison. The
complacency they now talk about, is the complacency they created because
effective measures had no support from them.

' Prison Officer
on Drugs charge '

An officer at the
Lancaster Farms Young Offenders Institute has been arrested over smuggling drugs
into the prison for inmates. Sources say he is facing ten years if convicted,
at present, the guard is suspended while investigations continue.

' Female Prison

' Guard raped
prisoner in jail '

PRISON OFFICER
MAURICE RUTTER raped a woman prisoner while on duty at Risley Jail. In court he
did not deny a sex act took place and claimed the woman would of course report
it and that his word carried more weight. However, Mold Crown Court heard
evidence that Rutter from Liverpool had been accused of indecent assault by a
remand prisoner separate from this current case.

' Female Prison
Guard had sex with boy in jail '

' THE UNNAMED

prisoners were handcuffed.

' Three Prison
Officers appear in Court '

PRISON OFFICERS

charges of wilful misconduct in public office were read out in court relating to
sex offences and sexual intercourse with women prisoners.

' Prisoner beaten
up by three guards gets £3,500 '

Compensation was
awarded by a judge to prisoner Desmond Preedy who sued the Home Office. Police
who were first called in to investigate the claim said there was no case to
answer, but Judge Hutton said there was no excuse for the Prison Officers
behaviour and awarded Preedy £3,500 damages. None of the prison officers faced
charges or faced a trial for any offence?

' Prison
Governors deceive Inspectors by moving prisoners '

WANDSWORTH AND
PENTONVILLE PRISONS were discovered to have deliberately deceived the Inspection
Board by moving certain prisoners before a visit by prison inspectors. They
have been brought up on disciplinary charges and several individuals will be
called in over the matter. It once again shows that deceit will be practiced
when necessary in the service and strangely enough, the board remarked that this
was a silly thing to do and rather petty. They also said it completely ruins
any trust they had previously over matters concerned with care and proper rights
for prisoners in their care. Further enquiries are now expected to look into
other prisons because of this.

' Corrupt Prison
staff are on the take '

PRISON WARDERS
MAY BE GETTING up to £3,000 a month in bribes by prisoners to smuggle in drugs a
report has revealed. It says ' the potential proceeds for staff are huge ' and
prisoners are finding it easier to bribe warders for the lucrative selling in
jails. An earlier investigation into drugs coming into prisons exposed the fact
that at least a 1,000 prison officers were on the take for smuggling heroine and
other drugs into prisons. Findings indicated that there was an average of seven
corrupt warders in each of the 139 prisons.

' Prison Warder in
suicide after fling with inmate '

prison warder at Chelmsford, hanged herself after her lover an inmate, ousted
pictures of himself on facebook displaying the £6,000 cash he'd managed to get
out of her. She had a secret love affair with the young offender, 15 years her
junior. When he was released she left her husband and moved in with him at a
flat. The relationship soured, but the young prisoner had removed £300 a day
from her account. The 21 year old refused to attend court while being held in
prison where he is serving a 30 month sentence for another crime.

' Prison Boss and
Prison Officer in court over sex with inmates '

DOWNVIEW WOMEN'S

' Female Prison
Warder is jailed '

public office.

' Prison Governor

BARRY CUMMINGS a
Prison Governor at Low Newton Prison was sent to jail for 4 years after being
convicted on three counts of sex offences against children. Durham Crown Court
were presented with a large amount of overwhelming evidence. Cummings, a man
with a Law degree was said to be 'an overbearing and arrogant man' by judge
Christopher Prince.

' Every week one
prison officer gets too close to inmate '

We are talking
here of intimate relationships of the sexual kind -- a report says more than 120
prison staff faced disciplinary action over a period of two years and nine
months. Only a few were actually dismissed, and even less were subject to a
prosecution. One woman officer was imprisoned herself for erotic letters and
phone calls with serving convicts, some were moved to another job and Zanib Khan
a warder received a 12 month jail term after her involvement with drug dealers
and robbers at the jail. The Ministry of Justice acknowledged the problem and
said they were taking steps to identify guards who were smuggling in mobile
phones and other things for prisoners saying those caught would face the
toughest sanctions.

' Prisoner dies
chained to guard '

A terminal cancer
patient/prisoner of 67, died while undergoing hospital treatment still
handcuffed to a prison guard. The Prisons Watchdog said The Prisons and
Probation Ombudsman said managers at category C HMP Channings Wood did not show
the appropriate compassion or act upon medical evidence by failing to remove the
handcuffs from the dying man. It is said that this is but one case out of 51
incidents in the past five years, in which the prison authorities used
inappropriate levels of restraint on inmates in hospital.

' Prisoner Death
-- Wandsworth Jail Condemned '

WANDSWORTH PRISON
has a colourful History and in the light of recent events shuns the Media
Attention on Deaths in Custody. Prisoner James Best was 'inside' for stealing
(A Gingerbread Man - Biscuit that is), during the riots across the UK in 2011.
Apparently he grabbed one when looters hit a Bakery in Croydon. He had up to
that time been working out in Portugal, and had only just returned to Britain.
One month before the riots he had been sectioned under the Mental Health Act as
it was feared he would engage in 'self-harm' A Jury found his death
'preventable' at the Coroner's Court, and his brother said they should not have
thrown him into jail. Prison staff said he 'was failed by the system' --- and
they are part of that system, but obviously forgot when they made this
observation! James Best was apparently on remand awaiting sentence. A Report
said ' the assessment of the performance of the staff and ambulance service was
scathing'

' G4S Guards in struggle arrested
over death '

AN Immigrant put on a plane to
Angola, who was restrained, handcuffed in a seat, died shortly after a struggle
with two guards who were later arrested on suspicion of committing a criminal
offence. They were both later released due to a lack of evidence.
Prisoner Jimmy Mubenga was seen talking to his wife on a mobile phone according
to other passengers. Some reported that he was shouting ' I can't breathe,
you're killing me ' One nearby said there seemed to be a struggle with
the guards and Mubenga was shouting, and then it all fell silent. From
that moment the guards looked worried and we all knew that something was wrong.
The plane was still on the runway at Heathrow when the incident took place.

UPDATE -- An inquest as ruled that
Mubenga's death was 'UNLAWFUL' (July 2013)

' G4S face Fraud Inquiry for
overcharging £50million '

THE G4S PRISON SECURITY SERVICE
COMPANY has found itself 'in the dock' after it was discovered that they had
been over-charging the taxpayer to the tune of £50 million. A fraud
investigation is now underway after MP's called for intervention by the Serious
Fraud Squad. So far it has been said that G4S and Serco had been billing
the taxpayer for offenders who were dead, back in custody or who had left the
country. In one situation they had charged for handling 18,000 offenders when in
reality it had only been 15,000.

'Prison Brawl lasts seven hours '

AT A 'GOOD ORDER' PRISON there was a
seven hour brawl which ended with two prison warders being taken to hospital.
The incident happened at Scotland's newest prison, Low Moss said to be non
violent and of good order by the authorities who put its first inmates in 2012.
Prisoners barricaded themselves in cells and for seven hours there was a running
battle....it is now said to be 'a police matter' and investigation. The
brawl broke out just a week after a report said 165 assaults were carried out on
inmates and staff in 2012. The report also exposed the 'inmate on inmate
attacks' and there were 140 such assaults of which 15 were serious. Staff
attacks amounted to 10, according to The Chief Inspector of Prisons, David
Strang.

'Prison Staff discovered tapping in
on inmates Phone Calls to MP's '

The Justice Secretary was forced to
make apologies after covert phone tapping was made by staff at Prisons when
inmates were making calls to their MP's. It was reported that this had
gone on for some six years between 2006 and 2012 before being found out.
Staff were listening in to confidential phone calls on a regular basis and
flouting the prisoners rights.

' Home Office Pay
£20,000 to visitor from abroad '

IMMIGRATION
OFFICERS brought misery to one Christmas visitor from Jamaica who spent most of
his Christmas holiday in custody, actually -- 5 days! The officers did not
admit their mistake or atone for their behaviour, in fact they were somewhat
above the law. Justice Morland awarded Peter Honegan £20,000 and costs against
the Home Office for the mistreatment to Mr.Honegan for false imprisonment at
Gatwick Airport.

' Rising violence in Children's'
Prison '

GANG VIOLENCE is said to be taking a
hold in young offenders prisons and becoming frequent as a result of not being
able to deal with it an inspection report indicates. It says that gang
members openly attack rivals and victims without fear of sanctions.
Security cameras have caught premeditated gang violence being carried out at
Feltham Young Offenders' institution,,,,, with up to two attacks a day.
300 acts of violence had been recorded by cameras in just six months before the
Prisons Inspection.

' Jail Warder appears before the Old
Bailey '

conditions etc. He was found dead at 6-45 GMT and pronounced dead by
paramedics who responded to the incident at the jail.

' Military

had nearly 1,300 images of children in deplorable positions. He admitted making
an indecent photograph of a child. The Royal Military Police discovered his
laptop after they had suspicions concerning child porn. One spokesperson said '
It is depressingly prevalent in the forces.'

' Lawyer defends
serial drink-driving Army Officer in Cover-Up '

At a North London
Court a solicitor insisted that an officer should be named or any history be
read out if it went against his client. The solicitor insisted it would breach
security if the name of the Army Officer was known. The court said this was
beyond a private matter for the army as it involved a civilian. The Officer was
answering charges of drink-driving and causing an accident on the M3 near
Basingstoke. The collision injured the other driver and completely wrote off
the vehicle he was driving. luckily, the injured man suffered only cuts and
superficial wounds and was checked out at Basingstoke Infirmary. The court
heard that this was the fifth crash by the Army Officer whilst under the
influence of alcohol and there was two more cases pending. The Army had sought
to hush things up and instructed their solicitor to obstruct the court by
claiming the whole thing was an army incident. The Officer was not present in
court. Damages were awarded against the officer and a driving ban was ordered
plus a huge fine.

NEW WATCHDOG TO TACKLE ARMY
BULLYING? Yet another attempt in the light of many such enquiries into
this.....the 1980's tried, the 1990's tried.....and all went silent until now
2014.....and The Defence Secretary thinks he has it figured! Philip
Hammond is just clutching at straws and feeling embarrassed by the situation
which will not go away. A new Service Complaints Commissioner is
appointed, Susan Atkins....and she says personnel will be able to bring their
grievances and complaints to her. But she is forgetting the power, or
should it be, secretive power of the Army top Brass and Command....recent and
old cases show that they have suppressed and interfered with outside
influences....mistreatment on the field and drills are seen as character
building no matter what harm they may cause.....and no Commissioner is going to
change that unless they want it to.

' Royal Air Force
in Assault Scandal '

RECRUITS IN THE
ROYAL AIR FORCE were beaten and handcuffed according to a report. A RAF Officer
and six Air Cadets were arrested after a video was seized showing two recruits
in a perverted initiation ceremony. Two 14 year old cadets were stripped naked,
gagged and handcuffed. They were then smeared with shaving cream during a 90
minute video. The boys were attending a week long training exercise at the ST
Thomas School Air Training Corps in Exeter, Devon. The attack happened at The
Royal Air Force Training Facility in Stafford.

ROOKIE AIRMAN IN
TORTURE HORROR - RAF Fireman Rookie Paul Headlong told a court martial that he

' Anti-drugs Navy
ship had drug smuggling personnel on board '

WREN TERESA MATOS
of the ship HMS MANCHESTER was arrested for smuggling 12kg of cocaine in her
locker after returning from a drugs mission to South America. Packages were

undetected. Her arrest led to three London contacts being held on drug charges.

' BULLYING IN THE
NAVY UNDER INVESTIGATION ' -- Naval Cadets are beaten according to the report as
the Royal Navy are conducting an investigation into the ill-treatment of

abuse and being humiliated by a senior rating.

140 INCIDENTS
HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO HAVE OCCURRED IN THE MESS AT HMS CAMPBELTOWN.

' Cover-up lies
invented by Navy '

It has been
revealed that the Navy invented a lie that said ' they had found an abandoned
boat with no occupants ' in relation to the Chandlers, a couple who were
hijacked by pirates. The real truth shows that a Navy boat was fifty feet away
when the Chandlers were taken, and they saw it all happen. It's yet another sad
and disappointing thing to find the Navy will lie and suppress the truth so
readily, but as we have shown the reader -- lies are done for the flimsiest of
reasons, and personnel employed or recruited will stand behind that dishonesty.

' Royal Navy
Commander is Jailed for Fraud '

FRAUDSTER ANTHONY
GRAY a Navy Commander at Portsmouth appeared before a Court Martial on nine
charges of dishonesty. He falsely claimed £53,000 so he could send his children
to boarding schools. He was jailed for six months. The Judge said it was a gross
breach of trust, especially as he was not entitled to the allowances. He was
also dismissed from the Navy.

Navy Girl '

ABLE SEAMAN KENNI
DINNELL based at Portsmouth appeared before a court martial charged with raping
a wren after he'd been out on a pub crawl. She said Dinnell was a pal of her

' Navy Officer
Slaps Girl sailor '

LIEUTENANT
COMMANDER RICHARD BIRD was court-martialled for slapping a young female
volunteer aboard a training ship it was heard. It was said to have happened
when their 'karaoke double act' ended in discord. It was said that there had

Halford who had served in the Falklands with the Navy said things got rough once
in a while ' she'd just got out of the bath and things turned a little bit ugly'

' Portsmouth
based Sailor commits suicide over taunts and bullying '

The Royal Navy
tried to dismiss the 'bullying' accusations when the case was heard at
Portsmouth Coroner's Court. Sailor Samuel Hatton was portrayed by them as a
loner who had issues and denied the bullying as normal banter among ratings!
Hatton shot himself after brooding over another recent suicide of friend Matthew
Webster who was based at HMS Hurworth. It came out that taunting by other
sailors and comments ' Not shot yourself yet?' incited by senior crew only
pushed Hatton harder. He was based on the Minehunter Cattistock, and took the
same way out as his friend.

' Falklands Navy
Hero steals from gang of crooks he helped '

FORMER NAVY
OFFICER DEAN PRIESTLEY appeared at Hull Crown Court was found guilty along with

he would grab some of the £1million and went on a spending spree with his
family. The International crooks were said to have put a £5m price tag on his
head when they found out, and Priestley went on the run.

'Royal Navy Petty
Officer in Court'

This case has
some doubt arising out of the possibility this looks like a dud charge invented
by the state -- in some ways similar to the US Bradley Manning Scandal --- The
state says that Submariner Edward Devenney has breached the Official Secrets
Act, and accuse him of being a spy in the pay of an enemy power. He has been
remanded to appear before the Old Bailey. His brief says that the subject of
the charge is not secret information but information available to the public on
reasonable investigation -- which we know is out there on the Web if you spend
time trawling the Internet -- we accessed some vital secretive stuff from a
source exactly that way for an article that was denied. It took us some months
and an accident to get it from a 'disgruntled guy' who kept a dossier of proof,
and we had to track him down after he left a page up that was three years old
but never deleted, easily missed...but luckily we came across it. So we shall
see how things work out, if it turns out that he didn't we will turn our
attentions on the judiciary and government services.

'Boozy Navy -- No
mention in the Press?'

The reason you
don't get to know about this was soon discovered when we accessed memos from a
seasoned sailor who was about to leave the Navy and had a raw deal over his
pension entitlements. He said the police in Portsmouth and Hampshire had an
arrangement with the council that although they would attend a disturbance at a
public house, they would detain the rowdy or drunk sailors and hand them over to
the Navy for them to deal with. He said most incidents of brawling, fights etc,
happened with the cadets who could not hold their liquor. All incidents that
happen ashore are quickly taken care of to avoid bad press and ill-feeling in
Naval towns.

' Army in
Cover-Up over destroyed and lost evidence '

The Deepcut
Inquiry concerning the deaths of four soldiers took a turn for the worse when it
was revealed that the Army had tried to conceal information and announced that
potentially vital evidence had been destroyed or lost? This case involved '
bullying at the Deepcut Barracks in Surrey, and the disappearance of the
log-book and clothing etc. Investigations floundered amid the army resisting
outside interference, -- and where have we met this kind of thing before? ---
Police investigating police and resisting public interference in their affairs.

' Fraudster Major

HUSSAR'S SOLDIER IN GLASS ATTACK ASSAULT was let off going to jail by judge who
thought it was perfectly reasonable to show anger? Trooper Richard Evans wasn't
discharged from the Army either. The soldier admitted to Affray and using a
glass in the incident and was leniently given a 12 month community sentence by
Judge Hart at Gloucester Crown Court.

A FORMER SOLDIER,
Jeffrey Lendrum of the elite SAS in Rhodesia was caught smuggling £70,000 worth
of illegally obtained falcon birds eggs. Appearing at Warwick Crown Court, it
was heard that the former soldier was arrested at Birmingham International
Airport. Police searched his Northamptonshire garage finding equipment such as
an incubator for the eggs and climbing gear used for getting at the nests. He
was jailed for 30 months.

SOLDIER APPEARS
IN COURT ACCUSED OF CHILD RAPE - Trooper Simon Davies from the Windsor
Combermere Barracks appeared at Reading Crown Court along with his wife, Fiona.
They are charged with three counts of rape involving a girl of 13. The Household
Cavalry Soldier served out in Afghanistan the report said; not that it really
matters one jot. The Ministry of Defence were quick to point out that this is a
civil matter?

TORTURE BY
BRITISH TROOPS INQUIRY HITS WALL OF SECRECY - Investigators trying to find out
how much involvement Britain had in torturing suspects held, came to an abrupt
stop as the inquiry team realised they were being 'stonewalled' and less than
the truth was being offered. Questions were being sidestepped and others being
half-answered. When certain points were being pushed, the soldiers and their
command were opting to hide behind ' secrecy' and whitewash invented by nations
and governments to gain immunity and claim that they were not required to answer
in the guise of National Security, whilst claiming at the same time ' we've got
nothing to hide ' --- what a joke, pull the other one.

UK TROOP ABUSES
IN IRAQ -- Hot on the trail of the above we have yet another call for an inquiry
taking place at The High Court in London (Jan 2013), Lawyer Philip Shiner is
representing around 200 civilians who are accusing British Soldiers of
'terrifying Acts of Brutality'. He says that British interrogators were guilty
of unlawful killings as well as torture. People were handcuffed, blindfolded
and heavily beaten before being taken into detention. Barrister Michael Fordham
QC has said that the Royal Navy played 'a significant role in the
interrogations' He also went on to say it was not enough to say there were
'rotten apples and then keep the lid firmly shut' .....quotes of 'a few rotten
apples' is generally used in most circumstances....but we here can show that
doesn't really hold water if you glance around the files and pages....it often
goes far beyond a 'few'.....and it emerged that the MoD had already settled or
just finalizing compensation for 249 claimants at a cost of £16.2 million. The
father of an Iraq teenager has accused British soldiers of torturing his son.
Mizal Karim said he found marks he did not expect and his son's jaw dislocated,
his arm broken and many bruises and the evidence of him being shot in the right
foot.

NB: Blogs and
replies are hotly denying that troops could do that........but most of these are
from ex-troops!

BRITISH SOLDIER
IN KENYA SHOOTING IS HELD -- DIPLOMATIC ROW NOW ENSUES: An Army Sergeant who
was involved in a fatal shooting of a Kenyan citizen has been detained for
several months since the killing, and this has now led to a row between
embassies and the Foreign Office. The soldier has been named as Sergeant
Madison. Britain is trying to 'remove' the soldier, but the Kenyan Prime
Minister said that he believed someone should be on trial where the offence was
committed. meaning he isn't prepared to let the soldier go back to be tried by a
military court in the UK. The MoD are now facing a backlash of resentment from
the African People.

' Drunken Army
Major and two soldiers cause havoc costing £100,000 '

ARMY MAJOR OLIVER
KING was questioned by Cherbourg French Police over an incident when he and two
other soldiers were arrested and held for 12 hours. French Police Commandant
Jean-Pierre Mercier said that King on the boat ' the British Soldier ' owned by
the Army Sailing Association, were arrested on the marina for being very drunk
and causing extensive damage as they crashed into four other boats, and there
was also an accusation that they had stolen the boat. At first the major denied
things, but later acknowledged taking the boat with two friends. The ASA said
they had borrowed the boat without the owner's consent and would not call it
stealing. The Army said they had dealt with the matter and the damages had been
compensated for.

' Soldier jailed
for assault on hotel receptionist '

CORPORAL DONALD
PAYNE was convicted of a war crime and was jailed for 12 months after admitting
his part culminating in the death of Baha Mousa, a hotel receptionist who was
beaten to death in Basra in 2003. The report revealed that he died of gratuitous

said up to 14 soldiers now face prosecution even though they have now retired
and are no longer in active service.

' Army Officer in
£220,000 fraud over school fees '

LIEUTENANT
COLONEL ROBERT (Henry) JOLLEY appeared before Swindon Magistrates Court charged
with 22 counts of false claims for boarding school fees and education grants.
He denied 14 counts of obtaining a money transfer by deception. Prosecution for
the MOD said he dishonestly obtained the money, money he was not entitled to.
This was said to have happened while he was still a serving officer at the base
in Upavon, Oxfordshire and Harrogate in Yorkshire. The Court action was brought
by the MOD. It was said he fiddled £220,000 since 2002, and forged his wife's
signature. He admitted to eleven counts of fraud and deception, most of the
cash went on the fees for his three sons at Stoneyhurst School.

' Children abused
by British Troops '

Sadly we feature
a report here of British troops abusing Afghan Children while in the commission
of freeing them from oppression. Two British soldiers, a Sergeant and a Private
are being investigated after colleagues complained about their behaviour. Both
were arrested by the Military Police and laptops seized that shows them
indulging in shocking behaviour in two incidents they recorded. The pair from
the 2nd Mercian Battalion Battle Group have not been named. This report comes
following an incident where four U.S.Marines videoed a 40 second clip of
themselves urinating on dead Afghans.

' Army Cadet

'Queen's Cavalry
Army Guard found guilty of Assault '

MATTHEW COONEY of
the Household Cavalry Mounted regiment was found guilty of assault despite
mounting a challenge to the effect the other party were to blame. However, the
court did not accept his version of the events as they gave him a suspended one
year jail sentence and was ordered to pay the victim £5,300 in compensation.
Lawyers for Cooney are said to be launching an appeal against the sentence. The
victim was Erika Vera who suffered face injuries needing seven stitches after
being punched in the face by Cooney.

' Former Army
Captain jailed over 'date rapes' on Internet '

ARMY CAPTAIN
BRIAN WITTY formerly with the Territorial Army Parachute Regiment was given an
indefinite jail term by the court after he was found guilty of several horrific
set attacks. He contacted his victims by Internet dating rooms and agencies
which led to meetings in the public bar. Kingston Crown Court found him guilty
of three rapes and one of sexual assault. The judge branded him as a danger to
women and said he must be put out of the way in order to prevent serious harm
coming to anyone else. He will serve a minimum of eight years.

' British
Soldiers Investigated over murder of prostitute '

KENYA --- News
says that the British Government are giving the Kenyan Authorities assistance
into the investigation and allegations that British Soldiers were involved in
the murder of a young Kenyan woman. It was stated that some in the Kenya
Prosecutors Office were annoyed at the lack of speed by the UK in the matter and
time that elapsed since the discovery of her body in Hotel grounds. It was said
that the young woman was with British Soldiers quite regularly until she
disappeared, and was last seen with several.

' Another Marines
story revealed -- Porn on Computers '

SEVEN MARINES
HAVE BEEN ARRESTED ON SUSPICION OF MURDER -- A seized Laptop Computer in the
investigations of the arrested Marines has revealed Pornographic images and
material discovered at the UK Base, but it has been denied that it belonged to
one of the arrested marines, yet it says that this pc led directly to their
arrest because they were featured on it in a video piece.....so who had what and
what of the porn and the owner of the pc? ..... a rather strange report with a
link, but no story of the porn emerges at all! or soldiers.

' Former Soldier

' S.A.S. Soldier
Jailed over Illegal Possession of Gun'

The jailing of
Sergeant Danny Nightingale for 18 months over the possession of a prohibited
firearm as led supporters numbering eleven, which includes a former commanding
officer saying that the officer has been betrayed by the army, and that he is a
victim of a monstrous miscarriage of justice. At an Army Court Martial,
Nightingale pleaded guilty to the charge of having an illegal weapon - a 9mm
Glock PistolIn

In a re-trial court martial he was
found guilty (July 2013)

'Military Prison
Guard carries out sexual attacks on female warders '

ARMY SERGEANT
RONNIE THOM appeared in court facing eight charges of sexual assault against
three female guards. It was said in court that he boasted about taking part in
threesome sex, and that he had innappropriate relations with a woman prisoner.
It all happened at the Military Corrective Training Centre in Colchester,
Britain's only Military Jail. The offences date back to 2009 and 2010 when
Sergeant Thom was a member of the Military Provost Guard Service in the position
of non-commissioned officer.

ACCOUNTABILITY is
not something the British Army are comfortable with, especially when you start
to make inquiries about army personnel wrong-doing. They actually go out of
their way to prohibit snooping into their records and say they are exempt from
private and public enquiries unless ordered to do so by the MOD, and they
confidently sneer and reply that they have ways of influencing that sort of
action. All in all, we found that soldiers rely on this to get them out of
trouble (one we spoke to said 'it was a family thing' and regarded the public as
ignorant claiming soldiers were special) and often cling to the belief that it
will be hushed up and dealt with behind closed doors --- unfortunately they are
right in almost 99 percent of cases...so what we reveal is a tiny part of a
fraction....but we will continue to dig behind the scenes and get some results
for publication.

' The Army,
Police and MI5 in 'imposed nightmare on female Army Captain '

THE BREAK-IN, MI5
OPPRESSION, AND M.O.D -- Carole Maychell was a Captain in the Army. She was
accused of having stolen Army property. While she was being questioned by MI5
Officers, three in all, the Lancashire Police were breaking into her
semi-detached home in Heysham, near Morecambe. She had actually refused to sign
a form permitting the search, but they went ahead having been given the go-ahead
by The Army. She was never cautioned or informed of her rights, nor charged
with theft. For three days she was interrogated. Before Official proceedings
began under the Official Secrets Act, the consent of the Attorney General is
needed....it had not been given. The High Court judges disapproved of the
Army's treatment of Carole, and the conduct of her Commanding Officer....they
felt they were being pressured to go along with things which verged on the
absurd. To make things worse she was kept on remand at the prison in
Colchester. They continually blocked any requests from her solicitor Mr Porter
who had a wide experience of Military Law. ' They always had us going around in
circles' he said, 'it seemed as if the C.O was an all-powerful figure, and he
rejected everything out of hand' Eventually, they dropped all charges after
four months. Carole suffered trauma and anxiety, and did not even get an
apology for what they did. 'The Army don't want to be seen to be giving in or
losing, so they just pretend it was all routine ' ...... Carole decided to sue
the Army for compensation for wrongful imprisonment, and when that matter is
concluded she is considering emigration. She says ' She cannot forget that it
was her own people who did this to her'

' The Scandal of
the Army Generals '

AS WE CONTINUALLY
SAY, CORRUPTION IS NEVER FAR AWAY -- We now have Army Generals caught in a sting
and on camera too -- Retired Army Generals have been filmed in discussions of
how to set up huge arms deals using their influence for cash! Yes, it sounds
very similar to the Politicians.....Admiral Sir Trevor Sour, Lieutenant- General
Sir John Kiszely, Chief General Lord Dannatt and General Sir Mike Jackson all of
whom boasted they could arrange and influence deals (for a £100,000 fee for two
days work a month). Six ex-senior officers were secretly filmed by undercover
reporters...some said they could get around the rules and had access to the
Ministers...all said they'd done no wrong!

' General gets £4 million pension as

Ministry of Defence accounts this chief has a retirement package to the value of
four million pounds....it is thought to be the largest sum ever made for a civil
servant,

' Troops punished over Afghan Crimes
'

BRITISH SOLDIERS appeared before a
Military Court because of offences they committed in Afghanistan. One soldier
was fined £1,000 after engaging with a boy of 5yrs and acting sexually.

accommodation block. Farrell only spoke briefly when he stood in the
dock of Telford Magistrates Court.....he was remanded in custody.

' Army Drug Tests prove positive in
520 soldiers '

A REPORT showed that in 2012 that
there were 520 soldiers failed a drug test and proved positive. Those that
were revealed by the MOD were: The Royal Regiment of Scotland -- had 62
soldiers who failed the drug test. The Royal Logistic Corps had 50
soldiers who failed. The Foot Guards had 29 soldiers that failed. It
is stated that out of a number of 11,252 soldiers tested a small number had one
or more drugs in their systems. Most of them caught were thrown out of the
army said a spokesman.

The Navy had 34 sailors prove
positive in the drug tests out of 13,743.

The Royal Air Force personnel had 20
officers prove positive out of a total of 14,301.

' Six British troops in attack on
Cop in the USA '

SIX SERVICEMEN and soldiers with the
Royal Regiment of Scotland were arrested after a brawl involving a US Cop.
The six soldiers were part of a Rugby Team in New York during a tour of the East
Coast. It is said that the brawl continued into the outside street even
after several soldiers kept on hitting and kicking the New York Cop who lay on
the floor. They did not respond to shouts from a fellow soldier to stop,
and it continued. The fight at the Mercury Bar was bloody so the Court in
Manhattan heard. Even though the Cop announced his status the soldiers
told him to F-off, as they didn't care. The soldiers mentioned are -
Private Iliakini Raderua, Corporal Thomas Shute, Private Felite Vunisarati,
Private Mosese Kuruala, and Private Joeli Radua -- accused of third degree
assault. A Lance Corporal Iosefo Yavala is additionally charged with
second degree robbery.

' Marine admits to lying to Police
when interrogated '

An 'Un-named' Royal Marines Sergeant
at his Court Martial admitted that he had lied to police when giving a statement
because he thought his actions might have been misunderstood? The Royal
Marine appeared in court with two others charged with the murder of a suspect in
Afghanistan....he said he foolishly shot a dead person! In court the three
are referred to a Marine A, B and C, Furthermore the Sergeant only
'assumed the man was dead' The trial at a Military Court in Bulford,
Wiltshire continues.

THE CASE ABOVE has turned into a
silly one with pleas for clemency as one marine has been convicted of murder
while the others 'got off' despite being involved in a cover-up as tapes offered
up in evidence shows that the 'shooter' asks the others to keep quiet about it.
The Defence Secretary has naturally turned down any call for special
leniency....just because he was a soldier....other silly polls conducted by the
media have shown the public at there silliest as they use words like 'he was in
a war protecting British Interests' etc, therefore he ought to be given a
lighter sentence? As one person said, it was murder and the marine
knew it at the time.

The Sergeant has been named as Sgt
Alexander Blackman.

' Former Soldiers jailed in Mosque
Attack '

TWO EX-SOLDIERS OUT FOR REVENGE
attacked a Mosque using fire-bombs after reacting to the News Item on the murder
of Lee Rigby...... Stuart Holmes and Gavin Humphries were jailed by the court
for six years. They both wanted revenge on Muslims despite picking on
innocent ones who had nothing to do with the Lee killing. They both used
to be stationed at Woolwich Barracks where Lee Rigby was attacked.

'Suicide and
Bullying Case rattles Army Secrecy'

ACCUSATIONS OF A
COVER-UP do not go away as the family of the dead Corporal get few answers and
experience stone-walling by the MoD. The Military Police Officer Anne-Marie
Ellement said she had been raped by two soldiers before taking her own
life....but no one seemed to bother. She made complaints that a campaign of
intimidation and isolation had been mounted after reporting the rape in
2009...and the army declined to bring charges against the two soldiers. New
evidence suddenly appearing was brushed aside by the Mod saying that the
omission of the material had been accidental?....two years later! Their brief
one Nicholas Moss claimed this didn't amount to a cover-up! Considering how
meticulous the Army are, what does he call it?

'British Soldier charged over bomb

the search at his parents home. He served with the 5th Battalion, The
Rifles, an armoured infantry regiment and in barracks at Paderborn, Germany.

' Alcohol a major problem in the
Army '

REPORT ABOUT BOOZY SOLDIERS -- The
Ministry of Defence admitted that there was a problem of alcohol abuse, and that
around 1,600 serving soldiers had needed medical attention and care over
excessive drinking in the past year. The booze consumption has led to
liver disease, mental problems and alcohol poisoning apart from reports of
incidents where soldiers got into fights with locals and caused problems whilst
intoxicated.

' Cavalry Captain in wine bar
assault '

CAPTAIN JEREMY SUDLOW of The

abusive. He was asked to finish drinking and leave by staff, and
retaliated by punching a member of staff and slapping another around the head.
He admitted two counts of assault and was fined £1,500.

'Army Sergeant - a bully and
rapist '

A RECRUITMENT ARMY SERGEANT,
EDWIN MEE appeared before Southwark Crown Court charged with 17 counts of sexual
assault. The court heard how he carried out sexual assaults on eleven
victims, leaving a cadet pregnant after a rape incident. It said he
preferred women between fifteen and early twenties and born overseas in
particular. Known as 'Jock' to his friends the divorced father of five
worked at a Recruitment Centre in Cheam.

'Boozy soldiers walk free after
stamping on man's head 18 times '

A COURT found it in their wisdom? to
free two Guardsmen who were photographed stamping on the victim's head eighteen
times while he lay on the ground. SCOTS GUARD SHAUN SMITH and Welsh GUARD
JASON COLLINS walked free from the court in Teeside after inflicting a terrible
and callous beating on an helpless civilian. They are both said to be held
in high regard by the army! who seem to put the behaviour down to the influence
of heavy drinking. The Judge at the civil trial said 'he was taking an
extraordinary decision' in the light of how serious the case was, and hoped the
army would do the right thing'......this was after the army lawyer had come to
court to show glowing testimonials on both men, and said they were keeping the
pair in the army! All the Judge could do was order Smith to do community
work for 80 hours unpaid and gave Collins a 12 month suspended jail sentence....
both were ordered to pay compensation of a £1,000 each.

' U.S.A.
Corruption and bent cops are still a problem '

OUR COLLEAGUES
who run sites on the web featuring crooked cops in different states throughout
America tell us that clean up measures are in the main a whitewash and
government agencies throughout the USA are in effect -- ignoring the corruption
or actively engaging in it. It is a fact that bribery is the main tool in the
states when it comes to the birth of police corruption and being a society based
on wealth and the desire for it, it is no surprise that the U.S. has a very big
police corruption problem. We have recently mentioned a raid that exposed
widespread corruption in cities of the U.S. and we know there are growing
suspicions that government administration is not without its own corruption in
the F.B.I. and C.I.A. The D.E.A. cops have been known to operate on behalf of
the drug barons for considerable bribes in recent years. Denials mean nothing
but that is what they come up with every time.

HUNDREDS OF U.S.
BENT COPS LITTER THE INTERNET WEB PAGES they actually outdo the British cops. If
one had the time it would probably go well into the thousands to download and
file each story and page.

THE USA POLICE SCANDAL -- It is
utterly amazing to find that when you type 'Cops harass or Intimidate' you
instantly get page after page of such incidents involving every state throughout
the US plus victims of police brutality on You Tube videos......some have been
arrested and their rights abused for taking film of police, and have later sued
the Police Departments and Officers.....but what comes across of a more
disturbing nature is the attitude of the Police and how they don't care about
their behaviour at all.....many cops are on Web pages for robbery, fraud,
intimidation, abuse and much more......but it never stops this misconduct.

AMNESTY SLAMS
U.S. POLICE AND REVEALS WIDESPREAD MISTREATMENT OF CITIZENS - a damning report
by Amnesty International claims that police officers are frequently violent,
abusive and discriminatory. The 150 page report issued in September 2005 shows
evidence of brutal beatings by police particularly against gay men. Dr. William
Schulz, executive director of A.I.U.S.A. who conducted the report claimed that
across the USA people were enduring injustices, entrapment, and trumped up
charges instigated and carried out by the police. The report titled "POLICE
ABUSE AND MISCONDUCT" showed many cases of people being forced to the ground --
handcuffed and kicked in the head during raids. Some cases included officers
raping suspects followed by threats. Michael Heflin said ' if we cannot count
on law enforcement to be clean then corruption like this will continue to
flourish' --- we can say that since 2005 there has been no changes and police
corruption throughout the USA has indeed flourished and the departments
responsible for policing have turned a blind eye to the majority of complaints
lodged and, destroyed many in an attempt to cover up this behaviour by officers.

OTHER U.S.A.
CASES ARE AS FOLLOWS:

LOS ANGELES
POLICE IN BRUTALITY ASSAULT - The massive corruption scandal involved twelve
officers who fabricated evidence and the framing of suspects. The affair
reached a new high when officer Rafael Perez was convicted of stealing cocaine
at the Rampart Division. In an attempt to have his sentence reduced he gave the
names of police colleagues who were on the take.

Another Los
Angeles Police Incident revealed that officers stormed into a cell after
drinking heavily at a Christmas eve party and began beating seven young
prisoners. The Mexican American prisoners were covered with blood as a result
of these outlaw officers.

THE BEATING OF
RODNEY KING inflamed riots after the Los Angeles officers escaped prosecution
despite the assault being shown as video evidence at a court hearing. The
scandal went much further than the police expected and here is the background to
this appalling case --- The first instinct of the police is to cast doubt or
doubt the video evidence presented (Independent eyewitness George Holliday made
the video). In pursuit mode on the highways of Los Angeles, a senior officer
such as a police sergeant should be at the scene so no officer steps out of
line. But on this night the video showed there was a police sergeant present,
policeman Stacey Koon, who failed miserably. Rodney King suffered it was said
by the hospital - 12 fractures and a broken ankle with injuries to his face, of
course, the police disagreed with that? Assaulting Police Officers - Laurence
Powell, Ted Briseno and Timothy Wind were charged with criminal offences -
assault with a deadly weapon and using excessive force, while Sergeant Koon was
still being investigated. The FBI was called in to do their own investigation.
Regarding the Patrol cars and radios, MDT's were used on all cars and
discussions/messages were logged. The transmission of a message at 1-12am
revealed a chilling admission by one of the officers who said ' I haven't beaten
anyone this bad in a long time'

NEW YORK POLICE
SHOOT BOY 17 TIMES -- Officers David Gross and Sergeant Michael Jacobellis were
put on administrative leave after shooting Michael Jones who it was alleged
brandished a water pistol.

BROOKLYN POLICE
OFFICER JUSTIN VOLPE confessed in court to an assault after changing his plea to
guilty in a police brutality case after fellow officers testified against him.
Volpe and three other police officers were to face murder charges. A fifth
officer was also arrested in connection with the murders and the cover-up that
followed.

TWO MEN BEAT UP
BY BROOKLYN POLICE RECEIVE $76MILLION BY COURT. Two men who were shot at by
police in New York received a record payout that staggered the Brooklyn
Authorities who almost went into meltdown. Gerard Papa and James Rampersant were
mistaken for robbers when they were set upon by cops. A Brooklyn jury found the
police guilty of negligence, false arrest and using excessive force.

12 COPS BEAT UP
SUSPECT and were filmed doing so. Philadelphia Police face paying out a similar
payout to the Rodney King case - £2.5 million. Victim Thomas Jones was beaten
as berserk officers rained blows while a TV film crew were shooting the scene in
a overhead helicopter.

GEORGIA POLICE
were filmed beating up a driver by the local TV company in their helicopter only
days after a similar event. Marshall Studdard was dragged from his car and
assaulted by the patrol officers.

POLICE SHOOT DEAD UNARMED MAN --
Officer Randall Kerrick a North Carolina Cop has been charged with voluntary
manslaughter after shooting an unarmed black man running towards him for help!
The police victim had been in a car crash and was seeking help from the police
after having crashed his car. The incident happened in Charlotte N.
Carolina. Officer Kerrick was one of three cops who responded to a call
from a woman because the man knocked on her door...she didn't answer...and when
the police arrived the distraught man ran to the police thinking he could get
help......but was shot dead instead!

GOVERNOR SLAMS POLICE IN MISSOURI
--- The Police involved in the 'Shooting of Michael Brown' have been accused of
launching an -over-militarised response' to disperse protestors who wished to
show their anger at yet another police shooting of an un-armed teenager.
Many people are angered by the fact that the boy suffered from several shots,
not just one, and the fact the police move into a position of denial which later
often becomes a cover-up and public whitewash. The Police in Ferguson are
refusing to let the Press get near and actively stopped them from reporting the
situation. Governor Jay Nixon said the 'police video appeared to cast
aspersions on the dead teenager' in order to take the focus of the police
themselves.

USA POLICE
CORRUPTION -- Some History --- 1970 investigations -- New York Police --- 20 out
of 75 officers in Brooklyn took bribes. 'Plain clothes' Detectives took over a
$1000 dollars a month in backhanders in return for turning a blind eye to
crimes. It even got to the stage were cops bribed other cops to keep
investigators off their backs, and inform them when any of them were named in a
likely investigation. This pervasive corruption was almost dismissed by
Commissioner Murphy in 1971, but he failed to impress political leaders with his
statements of ' traitors in uniform'. Detectives collected thousands of dollars
in bribes while the regular beat and uniformed patrolmen topped their pay
packets from ordinary citizens who broke the law and were willing to pay fifty
to a hundred dollars for them to look the other way. One cop told a reporter at
the New York Times - ' He had committed sixteen robberies assisted by eleven
colleagues during his duty as a cop, and didn't mind talking about it now he'd
retired.' Corruption among officers was set to rise to a level that almost
brought down the Police Department at one time. The Knapp Commission took over
and looked at the crooked cops in two ways --- one, 'the meat eaters' - a body
of cops -- mainly detectives, who wanted huge bribes and pay-offs by misusing
their powers. Example Two was ' the grass eaters' -- a large body of cops
referred to as the foot soldiers on the beat, who consumed small bribes and
anything that came their way while on duty. The main trouble here was
investigating the 'grass eaters' as they constituted the largest number, so the
majority would get away with their scams and crime. Whereas, ' the meat eaters'
where into big crime and big bribes, so Knapp had to form big task forces which
eventually took down and netted 53 per cent of the corrupt cops at the top end
of the corruption pile, which was a start, but it fell short of its target.

' 22 NEW ORLEANS
COPS IN MURDER COVER-UP AND CORRUPTION '

In the aftermath
of Hurricane Katrina, a major police cover-up case involving corruption hit the
headlines --- four cops face the death penalty and five cops plead guilty to a
cover-up as six people are shot by police. Micheal Lohman, a veteran cop
(lieutenant) pleaded guilty to obstruction in the investigation, and another cop
to fabrication of witness statements, falsifying reports and planting evidence
(a gun). It is stated that all the cops involved made up a lie to cover up the
fact they gunned down unarmed civilians. The New Orleans force is already
facing a federal investigation into corruption after it was stated that it was a
corruption-plagued police department. Sergeants - Robert Gisevius, Kenneth
Bowen, officer Anthony Villavaso and former officer Robert Faulcon were charged
initially -- then in addition -- Sergeant Arthur Kaufmann, and now retired
Sergeant Gerard Dugue and officer David Warren. Another 13 officers have been
charged with conspiracy to pervert justice and collusion. The Federal
investigation has turned its focus on higher ranking officers who may be
involved. There are well over 22 cops in one force under investigation or
charged and there may be more to come, so what does this tell us of corruption
and those who say it no longer exists in a high tech society like the USA?

25 NYPD POLICE
OFFICERS ON SERIOUS CHARGES, 200 MORE TO BE INVESTIGATED - scores of cops from
the New York Police Department are being charged with ' ticket-fixing ' -- the
probe reveals that some high ranking officers have been involved besides
patrolmen and inspectors, sergeants etc, A Bronx Grand Jury are investigating
into police officers fixing parking tickets for friends, relatives and
politically connected people. 25 officers are on criminal charges so far, and
200 more maybe charged with disciplinary counts.

NEW YORK POLICE
SERGEANT ADMITS FRAMING PEOPLE IN DRUG CASES -- POLICE SGT WILLIAM EISMAN
appeared in court and admitted to framing suspects on drug charges. The veteran
cop said he'd faked a case of marijuana against one man, and also coached
trainee policemen to falsify paperwork to sidestep legal difficulties they might
encounter. He was also found guilty of lying under oath.

NEW YORK COPS
FRAME MOTORIST WHO GOES TO JAIL FOR FOUR MONTHS -- Yet another Scandal in USA
police history among thousands more --- This little known and referred to case
happened in July 2011 to the resident of Rochester, Jeramie Barideaux, who was
nabbed by two cops for failing to stop his vehicle before the road line. Police
Officers Rob Osipovitch and Ryan Hartley falsely accused him of this offence,
and he actually spent four months in prison. The officers also invented the
'finding of drugs and weapon' to boost their case. However, in Court, CCTV
evidence told a different story which caught both officers out and proved that
the police had committed perjury. The Judge dismissed the charges and set the
man free. On July the 19th 2012 a lawsuit was filed against The City of
Rochester N.Y. Police Dept and the two police officers for damages, which we can
only hope is in the millions of dollars.....for the City and two cops.

COPS AND THE
'HOLLYWOOD BURGLARIES' SCANDAL -- Blamed on the 'Hollywood Distraction' 250
Cops in the Hollywood Police Division were investigated, Eleven were indicted
for serious criminal activities. The story started with two 'enterprising' cops
of long serving careers, Officer Jack Myers and Officer Ronald Venegas, both
assigned to 'burglary duties' -- that being responding to shop alarms. When it
started was never ascertained, but on one such call out they entered the shop
and before contacting the owner, helped themselves to goods and put them in the
trunk of the police car for transfer to their own later. The Los Angeles cops
not satisfied with genuine callouts, decided to smash shop windows and then wait
in their patrol car for the radio call and zoom in and take the goods; blaming
it on disappearing crooks. They later specialised on video shops. Internal
Affairs became interested and lay in wait on one call, both cops were arrested.
During investigations they implicated other police officers which turned into a
corruption scandal that surprised the Division. Nine other cops were arrested,
and one Sergeant Roger Gibson was found guilty on 13 counts of misconduct (he
was caught in a hot tub with naked women in a vice operation prompted by what
Myers and Venegas had confessed to). The Police Commander of the Hollywood
Division took early retirement as investigators uncovered a wide range of
offences, and some of the officers were transferred in the shake up and others
given warnings.

THE USA's CULTURE
OF LYING COPS ---Since the case of Officer Timothy Batt in 2002, when he took
the witness stand at Alameda County Superior Court against his colleagues ---
perjury by the police is certainly not uncommon in the USA. The Oakland Officer
told the court of the misdeeds by fellow cops, four of themselves going by the
name of 'the Riders' He confirmed that his training officer wrote a false
version in evidence of a man he'd beaten -- Batt told the jury how cops would
stoop to anything illegal to cover their tracks because they were police
officers and they could get away with anything? Officers Clarence Mabanag,
Matthew Hornung, and Jude Siapno were all charged with assault, framing
suspects, conspiracy to plant drugs and falsifying reports. A fourth cop, the
Ringleader, Frank Vazquez fled before being arrested (it is suggested he was
tipped off by fellow police) and was classified as a fugitive to be arrested on
sight. The police department and city had seventeen civil lawsuits filed
against them after the corruption went public.

ORDEAL BY LOS
ANGELES COPS AND NO APOLOGY OR COMPENSATION --- A minor driving offence led to a
nightmare jailing due to the Los Angeles Police Department, who are well known
for their brash and methods of coercion towards suspects. Emma Bowles found out
the worst way of experiencing U.S. Justice which allows for nothing to get in
the way of brutality and bloody-mindedness. She unbelievably ended up in a cell
and unable to raise the bail. The incident happened out on the Santa Monica
Boulevard , she was pulled over by cops who did a check on her driving licence.
Suddenly she was ordered to step out of the car, and then arrested. She was
handcuffed, and what was the arrest for? apparently her registration had expired
and that was a traffic violation. She was then bundled off to jail to go before
a judge the next day. She suffered a very embarrassing intimate body search
during 'processing' -- the court was cancelled the following morning which
meant her spending 48 hours in the jail. Handcuffed and waiting in the court in
orange prison jumpsuit, the judge dismissed the charges and even after that she
has to wait in a cell before finally being given her freedom. What of charges
against the cops? none, compensation for losing her liberty? none she said ' I
don't like the legal system in the USA' Emma is from Britain and she urges any
tourists to beware the cops and forget about driving in another country.

OHIO SHERIFF OF
30 YEARS SERVICE PLEADS GUILTY TO THEFT IN OFFICE -- Another Law man no doubt
commended in his nine terms in office, probably referred to as an honourable
upstanding citizen and bringer-in of baddies --- Sheriff Gerald McFaul is now a
'baddie' himself. His turn has come as they say -- as he was arrested and
charged with theft in office and ethics violations. He pleaded guilty to all
charges!

NEW YORK POLICE DEPARTMENT DISBAND
'SPY UNIT' --- A surveillance unit that targeted Muslims and monitored their
movements in the community since 2003 has been disbanded, The covert unit
of undercover detectives infiltrate student bodies and mosques....looking for
information, but created tensions instead according to Mayor Bill de Blasio.
The 'Programme' had been set up by police officials and former Mayor Michael
Bloomberg.

LOS ANGELES COPS
PAY $640,000 DOLLARS OVER 'SPYING' OPERATION -- Cops were keeping surveillance
on politicians, civil rights protestors and activists -- they created the PDID
which was manned by around 70 cops who were watching anyone who they could
classify within their own terms as 'likely' -- This suddenly hit the buffers as
LAWSUIT AGAINST COPS arrived citing the police transgressions as violating
constitutional rights; Police Chief Daryl Gates received this. He in turn knew
the information was 'sensitive' and often came by means of the FBI and CIA.
Prominent City Lawyer Burl Pines (Civil Rights Lawyer) pushed the Superior Court
to have the information made public. Resistance did come from the police, but
not in time for a quantity of stuff being released via the media. The PDID
claimed that the information could prove harmful if it was to be seen in the
public domain. The Police Commission on being too late (although making a
successful court challenge) began to engage in 'file burning' -- some 2 million
'secret files' -- the police played it down by saying all but five percent of
the stuff was too sensitive to be seen. Eleven of the 70 officers were charged
with 'improper intelligence gathering' -- after lengthy argument it was accepted
that there had been a violation of some people's rights -- the trial and
indictments were dropped in favour of the settlement. The PDID folded and was
replaced by the ATD -- The Anti-Terrorist Division --- new name, new folk? we
will never know, but the game remained the same!!

U.S. KING COUNTY
POLICE PAY OUT $10 MILLION IN EXCESSIVE FORCE CASE -- U.S. Judge Stephanie Arend
ruled that King County Police Deputies withheld information in the appalling
case of Christopher Harris who suffered brain damage as a result of police
brutality -- being slammed against a wall by a Deputy of the King County
Sheriff's Office in 2009. The Judge ordered them to pay a fine of $300,000
dollars for misconduct, and that is in addition to the Ten Million dollars
damages the police had to pay the Harris Family. (Tacoma News)

EX-CHICAGO COP
TURNED PROSECUTOR OPENS CAN OF WORMS AS HE ADMITS CORRUPTION IN OFFICE NAMING
JUDGES AND FELLOW COPS -- In what seems a local issue, ex-Chicago Cop reveals a
scandal that has a huge question mark and wider implications to consider over
the Judiciary, cops and every state in the USA. James J. Costello admitted in
court that he bribed Judge Daniel Glecier and Judge Francis Maher of the Cook
County Circuit Court. Both judges are on trial along with Lawyer David Dineff
who has also been bribing other judges on a regular basis. Costello said as a
police officer he was suspended 19 times for misconduct. When he became a
defence Lawyer he regularly met up with judges to fix cases and do a
'one-to-one' deal. He admitted when he was a cop he accepted bribes from around
40 lawyers. The corruption began in 1961 shortly after becoming a policeman
when he took bribes from traffic violators and bookies. In 1976 on becoming a
lawyer assigned to narcotics cases, he bribed Judge Wayne Olson, who was later
convicted for corruption. In 1986, Costello was finally caught, tried and
jailed. But that was not the end of this story, because hot on its heels came
another Chicago Cop - former Officer Peter McElligott admitted to bribing
another County Cook Circuit Judge John McCollom 20 to 25 times each month. He
also revealed that he handed out fifty dollar bribes to hundreds of other
officers in Chicago as 'Keeping Quiet' payments. One more ex-Chicago Cop Officer
James Fallon came forward and testified to half a dozen bribes he'd given to
McCollom. Other Judges - former Judge Allen Rosin was involved, plus Judge John
Murphy who served ten years for corruption. Judge John Divine was also
convicted of court corruption along with Judge Edwin Kretske and Judge James
Conon (deceased). Judge McCollom was on trial for racketeering, mail fraud and
income tax violations besides the allegations of bribery.

The above article
shows the 'tip of the iceberg' even though the US authorities would rather you
believe this to just exist in Cook County and Chicago, but that doesn't add up,
It gives a clear indication that if it happened there it could well happen in
many counties and states throughout the US but remain undiscovered or
suppressed. Even now they act as if this was nothing at all, which shows
complacency and widespread arrogance throughout the legal authorities and a
government hell bent on secrecy and cover-ups to hide corruption.

If the above
happened in London, which is far bigger than Cook County, over 103 cops, 40
lawyers and 8 judges on corruption would be a massive scandal attracting world
news coverage, and it's implications would certainly rock the judiciary and the
police for months in the UK; if not years, but in the USA it's just another day!

CHICAGO COP
REVEALS POLICE CORRUPTION IN CITY --- Former Police Officer Lopez turned book
writer has revealed how one gang (the cops he was with) were one of the most
corrupt on the streets. He admits to being drawn into the badges of dishonour
and how to fabricate charges and take bribes shortly after becoming a narcotics
officer. He tells of random beatings and brutality being done by cops and the
abuse of power that goes unchecked along with how to fool and despise Internal
Affairs. He says crossing the line from police officer to criminal is easy and
once you are doing it you know several mates within the department are with you
too. He says that once you are in there is a code of silence that keeps law
enforcers untouchable!

FOUR CONNECTICUT COPS ARRESTED BY
FBI -- The East Haven Officers were arrested for civil rights offences including
harassment and intimidation of Latino residents. Sergeant John Miller, and
officers David Cari, Dennis Spaulding and John Zullo..... one of them being the
president of a local police union. The report says they among other
things, created false reports to cover up the abuses.....and no-one at the
Precinct seemed to bother.

TWO BRIBE-TAKING COPS ARE NABBED ---
In the Queens Area, off-duty officers Robert Espinal and Danny Cano were
arrested for selling accident reports in an alleged insurance scam..... they had
been accepting payments for NYPD Reports.

Another New York Cop, POLICE
DETECTIVE Wojcicch Braszczok.... who works undercover was arrested for an active
part in an attack on a motor vehicle.

WASHINGTON DC OFFICER ARRESTED ON
CHILD PORN CHARGES -- Metro Police Officer Marc Washington is accused of
taking photos of a nude 15 year old girl while on duty. It is reported
that he forced the teenager to strip for the 12 photographs.

SCANDAL HITS NEW YORK COPS -- A
Video has revealed that a police officer placed a man in a choke hold similar to
that of a recent video showing cops acting badly.....despite the move being
banned as unlawful apart from dangerous. The video that caused an
outcry and the suspension of several officers after the victim Mr Eric Garner
died in police custody. This new case shows the chokehold arrest on the
subway when a man is caught fare-dodging. It says that NYPD are
carrying out an investigation?

NEW BLACK YOUTH SHOOTING SCANDAL --
COPS KILL TEENAGER -- Yet again we have another incident were cops have killed a
black man. Police of Ferguson, Missouri have sparked outrage after
shooting teenager Michael Brown 18, whilst in the back of a police car?
The St Louis County Police said that they had to use 800 cops to control the
angry crowd that surrounded the police station. It is said that the
officer involved in the shooting has been put on administrative leave.... while
they conduct the investigation?

COP GET OFF IN MICHAEL BROWN KILLING
-- Officer Darren Wilson was cleared by a judge, despite the black teenager
having several shot wounds. The verdict caused widespread anger and
inadvertently revealed that the cops were 'militarised' and moved on the
demonstrators like an army.....something the police were not supposed to be when
they go around in cars with 'Protect and Serve' written on them.
Self-serving seems to be more apt as officers all over the USA appear on the
Internet pages involved in violence, robbery, fraud and much more. Behind
the badge there lurks a crook and the number of cops listed on the Internet is
alarming, and it is growing day by day.

UN SAYS US COPS PROBLEM SHOULD BE
TACKLED -- Even the United Nations have called for the American government to
tackle the public's mistrust in the police and law enforcement. The Race
relations issue was most concerning, especially as there was a disproportionate
number of young African Americans who have died in encounters with the police.
The UN Human Rights Chief said this also applied to those in US Prisons and
black people on Death Row. UN Leader Secretary General Ban Ki-moon called
on the US Law enforcement to protect the rights of people to demonstrate
peacefully.

Sadly..... America have not seen the
situation as a problem and ignored it for many years, so there is little hope
with a country that still has ties with the KLU KLUX KLAN......thought to have
vanished from History.....which in fact went underground amid the Press it got,
and there were very few ever brought to justice, the police and government
simply stopped looking and let them go....in order to conceal the wealthy and
powerful who were holding the purse strings.....murder was possible for a
price....especially if it was a black man. Luckily in Europe The Nazi
hunters never gave up on seeking out the guys who committed murder and worse,
and some of those Nazi defectors fled to America where they were welcolmed.

ANOTHER BLACK SHOT BY POLICE -
SHERIFF APPEALS FOR CALM -- Yet another shooting, this time it is victim Cedric
Bartee in Orlando, who it is said had his hands above his head when cops shot
him. Sheriff Jerry Demings called for calm as he feared the backlash from
the black community. There is already much anger of the killing of Eric
Garner in New York...who was killed by officers attempting to arrest him for
illegally selling untaxed cigarettes on the street.

LATEST COP SHOOTING IN ST LOUIS
AGGRAVATES SITUATION -- A black man shot at a petrol station by police only
helped to worsen relations between the police and the ethnic groups who see the
'bad old days' return as if they had never gone away, but covered-up.
Officials in Berkeley were desperately trying to distance the killing from
others that are proving to be explosive to the government and police.

COP LIES ABOUT SHOOTING WHICH IS
CAUGHT ON CAMERA -- Another Policeman has raised the temperature of credibility
after claiming a self defence situation that badly backfired when he was filmed
shooting the man in the back several times. Police Officer Michael Slager
was arrested after the film was shown and charged with the murder of Walter
Scott a black man who was running away from the Carolina Officer. Many are
saying that without the video evidence it was more likely the officer would have
got off absolutely free and his lie accepted without much question. Slager
apparently tasered the man but that didn't stop him running away, and he then
pulled his gun and shot the man in the back not just once, but several times.
It was said this happened over a vehicle check stop.... a faulty brake light!

BALTIMORE COP CHARGED WITH MURDER,
FIVE OTHERS IN COLLUSION --- Resulting from the death of Freddie Gray a young
black man who died in custody, one cop has been charged with murder and five
others have been charged with complicity in the incident. The charges on
the five were said to be second-degree murder, assault and manslaughter by
Prosecutor Marilyn Mosby. The arrest was illegal she said and his
treatment at the police station amounted to murder and manslaughter. The
black boy's death sparked riots in the city....the cops in the van claimed the
boy died as an accident in the van....which was not accepted, the boy was in
shackles and hand cuffs....his neck was broken!

'LAWYER IN TWADDLE SAYS BALTIMORE
COPS DID NO WRONG' -- Not unusual for Lawyers really, who play many roles in
making the Legal System a farce. Police Lawyer Michael Davey (equal to a Police
Federation lawyer) expressed his concerns about fairness and integrity for the
six charged offices in the Baltimore killing.

AIDE TO ATTORNEY LAWYER ARRESTED
OVER FAKE COP FORCE -- Branden Kiel was arrested in California for running a
fake police force and impersonating the police. The aide to The Attorney
General's Office is said to have been running a fake police force with several
others, Producer David Henry and Tonette Hayes...calling it a 'Masonic 'buddy
boys' federation'....said to be connected to the Knights Templar
ideology....from which came the Lawyers, Judges and solicitors of Modern times.
The Force claimed to have jurisdiction in 33 States and operating in Mexico City
too. Raids in the Beverly Hills district on members homes revealed
'Officers Badges' weapons and uniforms.

RIFF BETWEEN MAYOR AND POLICE WIDENS
-- The City Mayor of New York Bill de Blasio was finding it difficult to repair
relations with the police as officers turned their backs on him. This
situation came about as a lone avenger took out two cops in revenge for killing
two black men. He said at a press interview, 'Who would have thought
that we would be back where we were 40 years ago' he said as NBC reporters
looked on.

COP PROBLEM NEVER WENT AWAY -- The
dirtiness of the US Police has never been properly exposed or investigated, and
will never be due to the intervention of government officials anxious to play
things down and keep a cover-up in place. Law Enforcement relies on
secrecy and being able to operate with the minimal of accountability..... and
while this exists there will be cops appearing over the Internet daily, with
many citizens reporting things they'd rather not be seen......but then again,
they are quite blaze and this helps the arrogance.

THE PENNSYLVANIA
BRIBED JUDGES SCANDAL -- District Judge Mark Clavarella and District Judge
Michael Conahan faced allegations of taking around $2.6million dollars for a
deal to send young offenders to private detention centres where excessive
punishments were given to underage youths for relatively minor offences. This
raised the suspicions of the community and raised the ugly head of 'abuse to
minors' and what might be going on in the name of law and justice. Another
Pennsylvania District Judge, Willie Singletary was also found guilty of
accepting bribes in another case.

MORE CORRUPT
JUDGES - G.Thomas Porteus Federal Judge for East Louisiana, impeached for
perjury and corruption. Samuel B.Kent Federal District Judge for Galveston,
Texas, who was jailed for 33 months for deception and lies. Federal Judge Robert
F.Collins was sent to prison after taking bribes from a drug dealer, and later
faced impeachment charges. District Judge Wes Teel and District Judge John
Whitfield were convicted over taking bribes for favourable rulings ---- Lawyer
and Attorney Paul Minor serves 11 years for bribery --- District Judge Michael
Murphy a leading judge at Los Cruces was indicted on bribery charges, and the
list goes on....and on.

County Court
Judge Dolores Briones charged with conspiracy to commit theft or embezzlement
was caught up in a Public Corruption Investigation.

LAWYERGATE - THE
SCANDAL The dismissal of U.S.Attorney's by President Bush--without explanation,
despite having appointed them in the first place. They were: Alberto Gonzales
Attorney General of the US. Michael Battle, Director of the US Attorneys Office
Justice Dept, Bradley Schlozman, who replaced Battle, Michael Elston, Chief of
Staff to the Attorney General, Paul McNulty, Deputy Attorney General, William
W.Mercer, Associate Attorney General, Robert Coughlin, Deputy Chief of the
Criminal Division of the Justice Department, Kyle Foggo, Ex-Director of The CIA
who was jailed for fraud. Harriet Miers, Legal Counsel to Bush.

ELEVEN U.S.
PRESIDENTS WERE LAWYERS --- ONE OF THEM WAS CALLED RICHARD NIXON!!

THE JUDGE BORK
CASE --- 1987-88 -- The former Yale Law School Professor Judge Robert Bork
failed in his attempt to be selected for The Supreme Court despite President
Reagan's backing; the Senate Judicial Committee rejected him. He was a
controversial choice in that he had followed 'disgraced' President Nixon's
advice to dismiss Archibald Cox, The Watergate Scandal Special Prosecutor. Two
of Bork's colleagues resigned rather than support his actions. Judge Bork made
a serious blunder of the 'racist' kind -- in that a magazine article in 1965 he
advocated that 'whites' should be able to discriminate against blacks
(Restaurant owners should have the freedom to choose who to do business with)
and exclude them. This then exposed him to the wrath of the 'Anti-Bork' league
-- Ronald Dworkin led a multi-million dollar campaign against Bork and depicted
him as right wing using 'original Intent' constitutional theory as a mask for
lawless judging. Another character of the league was actor Gregory Peck who
blasted Bork in as many ways possible.

FALLING JUDGES --
The impeccable Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black fell on his sword when he
admitted to a committee that he had been a member of The Klu Klux Klan in the
latter part of the 1920's. Chief Justice William Rehnquist was quizzed by The
Judiciary Committee about three allegations against him -- that in his position
as a clerk to The Supreme Court Justice in the 1950's, he wrote a memo arguing
against a decision in 'Brown' to order desegregation of the schools, and that he
bought and sold houses with restrictive covenants against Jews, and that he also
harassed black voters in the 1960's.

LAWYERS AND
JUDGES STEAL MILLIONS OF DOLLARS - 2008 --- The case that is now called 'The
Maryland Scandal' -- The not widely known CNN News Report is hidden away in the
vast pages of the Internet -- it says it is by Cazain -- The place = Cecil
County, Maryland. Crooked Lawyer William F Riddle is the 'key position figure'
along with Riddle's secretary Chris King. The scandal involves players a woman
at Cecil Federal Savings and Loan. It suggests Money laundering. Court Clerk
William Breuckman is accused of taking bribes. Judge Karwacki a Circuit Judge
is accused of Jury tampering. Other judges - Judge Lidiums, Judge Dexter
Thompson -- accused of taking bribes from Lawyer William Riddle. Then we have
property stealing to the value of $1.8million. leading onto accusations that
Lawyer Roger Schlossberg was aiding and abetting Ann Mace to steal the property,
and to make matters worse, a huge amount of the article is supported by victims
who have connected up with the web pages to support the allegations of criminal
impropriety.

COURT OFFICIAL'S
WIFE ARRESTED OVER THE KILLING OF THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY -- The killing of the
District Attorney Mike McLelland of Kaufman County District, along with his wife
Cynthia. The report says that Law Enforcement Officials are 'trying' to build a
case against former Justice of the Peace, Eric Williams....whose wife Kim
Williams has now also been arrested. The Police are treating the case as a
'terrorist threat to the DA' in that they say the pair made various
demands......this comes after JP Eric Williams was convicted of stealing three
computer monitors from an office?

FBI SCANDALS AND
CORRUPTION --- The Hanssen Scandal ---- Reporter Toni Locy managed to get at
information that was not previously released or known when she exposed the story
of 30 FBI employees who failed polygraph (Lie Detectors) tests, and no one was
dismissed? The Hanssen Case exposed the fact that Russian Agents had been
working for the FBI, which led onto a 'knock-on effect' causing embarrassment
for the bureau. 'The Exam Cheats Case' --- FBI Director Robert Muellor said he
didn't actually know how many operatives had cheated in exams, but he didn't
deny that they had. This was in regard to techniques and surveillance on US
citizens without evidence of wrongdoing. Two Scandals, one connection: The FBI
link between Penn State and U.C.Davis..... go to
www.thenation.com
for more on this and other cases.

FEDERAL JUDGE
ACCUSES FBI OF CORRUPTION -- FBI COVER-UP: The Justice Department came under
question and a scathing attack by a Los Angeles Federal Judge -- US District
Judge Howard Matz, he accused the US Justice Department Attorneys of allowing an
FBI Agent to present false testimony to a Grand Jury. Also, that the agent and
indirectly the Bureau inserted false statements in a search warrant application,
and unlawfully intercepted e-mails between a defendant and his attorney.

FBI - 100 AGENTS
CAUGHT SENDING EACH OTHER NAKED PICS -- In fact 1,045 employees were disciplined
in 2010 to 2012 and 85 were dismissed. Offences detailed in a confidential
internal report shows that around 36,000 staff fall short of the requirements in
conduct and behaviour expected. It mentions hiding recording devices and
sending nude pictures among many other things unsuitable for publication.

FBI SECRET FILES
-- Attorney Jesse Trentadue filed new evidence of this in his lawsuit against
the Bureau. The FBI withheld disclosure documents in the Oklahoma City Bombing
Case -- many questions unanswered as a cloak of secrecy shields the FBI and
other Government Agencies involved. For more on this and others, go to
www.examiner.com
'More proof of FBI Corruption'. It seems that the days of Mulder and Scully are
here with FBI top brass acting like the enemy in devious practices, rule at any
cost, and good guys in their minority suppressed in order to please the White
House and Senate. The FBI more or less crashed when Hoover was found to be
compromising them - by him sneaking out in women's clothing and publicly
pretending to be the scourge of deviant citizens.

FBI ACCUSED OF
PERJURY --- and Obstruction of Justice -- in order to cover-up the misuse of FBI
Computers for criminal activities by felons. This is featured on a video
showing on
www.youtube.com

FBI ACCUSED OF
MAJOR FIDDLE BY EX-FBI MAN: In an open letter on the Internet, Kevin B. claims
he was a member of the FBI attached to the World Bank Office in Washington, and
that he resigned when he discovered activities of colleagues were suspicious
during an investigation. He says his boss was 'conniving' with top officials to
divert funds approved to settle lottery win claimants, and that there were
deliberate delays over payments? In the blog he mentions (Local and Foreign
Debt) being something to do with the job....so what is going on here? (we have
the full e-mail letter on file)

FBI STILL
PERSECUTING UK RESIDENTS OVER OVER-SEAS HACKING ALLEGATIONS -- The big Sheriff
of the world strikes again with yet another attempt to extradite a British
citizen. They have now got their target - Ryan Cleary 20, who they say has
hacked into US TV Networks, Fox and Sony Corporations. They say he faces up to
25 years in jail if convicted, perhaps that should be when? This all comes at a
time when the FBI are being investigated themselves by two central groups, which
indicates how eager they are to throw the spotlight off themselves and get
enough time to have someone in government railroad any paper trails and disc
evidence.

FBI ARREST FOUR
COPS --- In Haven, Officers - Dennis Spaulding, David Cari, Jason Zullo and Sgt
John Miller are to go on trial charged with ten counts - Creating false reports
to conceal their activities, false arrest of five activists, using unreasonable
force and unreasonable search and seizure of items -- ( Civil Rights Abuses) --
it was also said these officers were a sort of cancer, bullies with badges
involved in a conspiracy to corrupt justice.

NB: One minute
it's cops arresting FBI agents, then the turn of FBI agents to arrest Cops...and
so it goes on.

SECRET SERVICE
AGENTS INVESTIGATED OVER SEX PEST ALLEGATIONS --- 64 Complaints have been lodged
against US Secret Service Agents accusing them of sexual misconduct over a five
year period. A Senate Hearing were told that much of this involved suggestive
e-mails with explicit sexual references, and three concerned inappropriate
relationships with a foreign national...it was also stated that agents visited
bars and brothels in Columbia prior to the President's visit.

COVER UP TO SAVE PRESIDENT'S
EMBARRASSMENT -- In relation to the above story, it now appears that the
Sex Scandal involving agents were kept secret and handled behind closed doors in
a 'damage limitation' exercise. The Secret Service Agents nobbled amounted
to nearly two dozen along with members of the military following the 2012
prostitution scandal. At the time the Columbia situation was
constantly denied by the White House, but new developments drawn from government
documents reveal that senior aides in the Whitehouse were kept in the loop about
what was going on.

CIA CHIEF IN
RESIGNATION -- CHIEF OF CIA DAVID PETRAEUS resigned after having been discovered
in having an affair outside his marriage, which brings his career to an abrupt
end.

CIA AGENT FOUND
GUILTY GETS 7 YEARS -- Found guilty in Absentia, CIA Station Chief, Jeff
Castelli, now free will no longer be able to return to Italy, as a court in
Milan has found him guilty in a case of kidnapping a Cleric from Egypt in 2003.
Should he ever be caught in the region he will go to prison immediately and
serve the seven years. This decision was handed down by an Appeals Court. (28
other Americans have been convicted in their Absentia in Italy over rendition
charges).

CIA IDENTIFIED IN
RENDITION -- 54 Countries were tainted in covert operations of 'kidnapping and
transporting nabbed prisoners to secret prisons and locations around the world
say the Open Society Foundation in New York. Over a quarter of the world's
countries provided assistance to the CIA in an extraordinary rendition
programme. Exposed by a report 'Global Torture' the activities of the CIA are
made public, it says the USA violated domestic and International laws.

NEW CIA CHIEF
KEPT QUIET ABOUT ABUSES -- John Brennan who is now Obama's choice to head the
CIA admitted knowing what the CIA got up to with abuses like 'water boarding'
but felt it was nothing he should do anything about, so he didn't stop it. He
says he knew about the harsh interrogation techniques when he was just a member
of the agency.....he claimed he was absolved of following his conscience because
he was not in the chain of command at the time!

CIA History --
Secret Service Assassinations of third world leaders, The CIA asked Britain's
MI5 to help in the assassinations of third world leaders (1955-1975), but Senior
Intelligence Officer Peter Wright turned down the request suggesting the CIA go
to the French, 'it's more their type of thing' he told them. (Spycatcher' the
book)

WHISTLEBLOWER REVEALS USA SPYING AND
GOVERNMENT PARANOIA --- Just as they thought they had everything figured and
Bradley Manning locked away.......along comes Edward Snowden an Operative with
the CIA.....who like Bradley, realised what harm the NSA and CIA were doing to
democracy. They are currently calling Snowden a 'fugitive' and have him at
the top of the FBI wanted list, in fact they are virtually threatening countries
who will not hand him over. The UK were told to tell airlines that they
would be fined if he boarded any of their airlines. The 'Sheriff of the
World' are actually acting very weird and getting into a state of Paranoia as
they hunt for this CIA man who left the country on a holiday which turned out to
be their nightmare. He said' The NSA were invading people's liberties around the
world spying on the Internet, intent on making every conversation and every form
of behaviour in the world known to them, which poses a threat to democracy'
He also revealed that Britain's Spy station GCHQ were assisting the CIA and NSA
and running spy programmes on the UK citizens via phone and Internet.
(June 2013)

SNOWDEN REVEALS USA SECRET 'DISHFIRE'
PROJECT --- Another spying on e-mails programme that is collecting data on
millions of people, and storing it. The UK is right in there acting as
co-partners...whilst pretending that they weren't in the driving seat. The
secrets game goes on, and America are deep in it.

SNOWDEN REVEALS NSA PLAN TO
'BLAME DIRTY TRICKS ON OTHER COUNTRIES' -- Holed up in Russia, former CIA man
has revealed another episode of 'America's dirty tricks' to the public.
This sneaky one involves letting other countries take the blame...in that the
NSA has a secret cyberwarfare program that can automatically fire back at
cyber-attacks from foreign countries without any human involvement. He
says that this program could start a war (possibly accidentally) because the
cyber attack can be launched to look as if it came from a completely innocent
country, and they'd find it almost impossible to track or discover the real
source.

In connection to the above article
-- USA SPY GETS CAUGHT IN RUSSIA -- In January CIA Operative Ryan Fogle was
arrested by the Russian Secret Service when he was supposedly
'recruiting'....much of the reporting centred on the 'amateur theatrics' Fogle
aspired to. Because of his Diplomatic Immunity the Russians handed him back over
to US officials as he had been expelled from Russia.

CIA FORMER CHIEF WANTS PARDON
GRANTED OVER KIDNAPPING CONVICTION -- Robert Seldon Lady a former CIA man was
sentenced to nine years jail in Italy, and cannot go anywhere near there because
he will be arrested and taken to prison. An Italian court found him guilty
in a 2003 kidnapping, and he fled before the verdict back to the USA.
Italy has issued an International warrant for his capture and arrest. He
has requested a pardon from the country's President saying he did nothing wrong
at the time because his actions were in accordance with US and International Law
in force between the two countries.

CIA AND THE RENDITION TORTURES ---
The sordid news took a long time to surface, and the CIA and US Govt were
totally against that. The authorities pulled a blinding stroke on how to
get away with torture bringing in a law that shielded them from public
inquiries.....RENDITION was brought in after 9/11.... using this event and
tragedy to covertly indulge in actions of the most sinister kind. The CIA
and other Agencies claiming to be doing it in the interests of National Security
kidnapped targets, imprisoned them (without any due process of law) and
assaulted them 'torture style -- even sexually' without fear of prosecution.
They were immune, and agents of these acts such as Police, Warders and Prison
Governors could lie, cheat, and commit crimes against the person in secret....
and even kill them without being brought to book.... because of this law and a
Government that could not be challenged. These so-called ordinary men with
families would hurt, torture and defile a suspected person in a 'matter-of-fact'
way to get information and go to any lengths to get a confession or
statement.... they were not concerned about what the public thought..... because
they were not being told.

CIA INTERFERES IN TERROR
INVESTIGATION -- The Senate Intelligence Committee accused the CIA of
interference when they were investigating 'interrogation methods and detentions'
of terrorism suspects during the Bush Administration. Ms Feinstein on the
Committee, in an irate speech, accused the spy department of 'silently removing
reams of documents pertaining to the probe from computers that it had previously
provided to her committee's research staff to help them get the bottom of
whether torture laws were broken during the interrogation of suspects. She
additionally made it known she was not happy with the CIA's tactics of allowing
one of its senior lawyers to refer to the Justice Department.... a criminal
complaint against her research team alleging that they had illegally copied a
confidential internal CIA review of what happened during the Bush years.
She viewed this move as an attempt to 'intimidate' her staff, and considered it
an abuse of power.

CIA MISLEAD GOVERNMENT ABOUT
INTERROGATION BRUTALITY -- The Infamous CIA cannot speak the truth or even
adhere to it, and were censored by the Senate Committee over it misleading the
government in relation to aspects of interrogation and the use of brutality over
a number of years, kept secret and often denied or played down. It was
found that the Agency concealed the severity and politically sensitive
methods of forcing prison detainees into surrender. The Report still
classified referred to anonymity and disturbing incidents at the Agency's
secret prison in Thailand...causing some employees to leave.

CIA GET POLAND INTO TROUBLE --
Judges in Strasburg ruled that Poland was wrong to allow the USA's CIA to
torture two men detained as suspect terrorists on its soil. The European
Court of Human Rights ordered the country to pay the two men a total of £180,000
in damages. The men were held and detained 2002 to 2003.

CIA SHAMES AMERICA - BUT THEY
COULDN'T CARE LESS! -- Most Americans are not even bothered, their humanity and
values slipped away years ago in return for greed and corruption. The
torture that has now been revealed is only out in the open because the people
who did it have been granted immunity from prosecution. So as you might
just realise, owning up to these atrocities detailed in the report doesn't
really matter, a USA government will look after their own first, even if these
things amount to a crime against humanity, democracy comes a poor second to
those in power, and the Law is theirs to interpret and act upon as they see it
with the advice of their twisted lawyers who play out the game..... and being
paid with public cash.....immunity is not given to ordinary folk, it is reserved
for the elite and corrupt!

The UN say these CIA torturers
should face a day in court? and say this organisation was backed at a very
high administration level pointing to the Bush Administration.....but this plea
is just rhetoric, these animals already have immunity. Those who carried
out the torture are probably 'family men' living a lie and being seen as good
Joe's in bible-bashing states...... so were the Klu Klux Klan. Former Head
of CIA Operations Jose Rodriguez said this report was like throwing him and his
team under a bus.....but he hasn't had it that lucky yet!

AMERICA SPIES ON EUROPE ---
Whistleblower Edward Snowden ' dropped' the USA into it again, as Germany lashed
out at the US after finding out that they were labelled as 'an unreliable ally'
The outrage has sparked an investigation into American covert surveillance (as
revealed by Snowden). France also voiced its indignation with the USA as
it was told that it too was subjected to around two million such connections by
the Spy program.

NSA AND GOVERNMENT SPY ON YAHOO AND
GOOGLE ACCOUNTS -- Spies are everywhere said one American citizen, even in your
own country, and its your own elected government that is lying to its voters.
Yes, the USA are tapping into Internet accounts just about everywhere in the
World (with the Search Engines help) assisted in many cases by the UK spy
network GCHQ. The NSA have as the report says secretly broken into the
main communications links that connect Yahoo and Google according to revealed
communicates and documents supplied by Whistleblower Edward Snowden. The
NSA are able to collect at will - any and all information from hundreds of
millions of user accounts. When questions were put to the NSA and White
House Officials, they declined to answer or comment?

NSA IN TELEPHONE SPY ACT NOT
AUTHORISED -- In a Federal Appeals Court an appeal by the NSA was
dismissed and their acts declared as 'unauthorised' by Congress. The NSA
tried to justify their plan to spy on millions of Americans collecting secretly
recorded calls by citizens by bringing a lawsuit challenge to the constitution.
The 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan said the surveillance violated
people's privacy.

AMERICAN GENERAL JOINS THE
WHISTLEBLOWERS -- The season is truly underway as we now have an American
General -- Marine General James 'Hoss' Cartwright under investigation for
leaking secret information about the Stuxnet Computer Virus, which temporarily
disabled 1,000 centrifuges used by Iran to enrich uranium. A US planned
covert and 'classified' cyber attack on Iran's nuclear facilities.

US GOVERNMENT
ACCUSED OF INVOLVEMENT IN ASSASSINATION PLOT -- Venezuela has accused the USA
government of plotting the murder of a politician in the forthcoming
presidential election. The CIA and Pentagon were accused by the acting leader
Nicholas Maduro with conspiracy to assassinate an opposition leader, Henrique
Capriles.

USA PENTAGON GUILTY OF BILLION
DOLLAR FRAUD -- But no action taken......A Reuters Investigation revealed that
the US Pentagon discovered massive accounting fraud within the Pentagon itself.
They discovered unauditable legers and corrupted data etc, in the accounts
leading to the disappearance of Eight Trillion Dollars of taxpayers money.
The US Government as usual, denied that it meant stealing or lies being
involved, and only just agreed to the possibility of 'some sort of profiteering'
It is being categorised down to ' a miscalculation of resources'
which means, the money has gone, no one is to blame, and you can't do anything
about it!

POLITICAL
CORRUPTION -- Lewis Libby, Chief of Staff to Dick Cheney, convicted of perjury
in the 'Plame Affair' who got 30 months in prison and was fined $250,000
dollars. Alphonso Jackson Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, resigned
amid being investigated. Karl Rove, Senior Advisor to G.W.Bush was investigated
for improper influence. State Senator Joseph B Montoya was convicted of
corruption. Senator Ted Stevens for Bribery and Tax Evasion.

REPUBLICAN
POLITICIAN JAILED FOR THEFT - Florida's Former Chairman of the Republic Party,
Jim Greer was sent to jail for 18 months after pleading guilty to 4 counts of
theft and one of money-laundering. It was said that he took $125,000 of party
funds, and that by pleading guilty he had averted a trial that had threatened to
expose the underbelly of Florida's dominant party. He was once one of the most
powerful political figures in Florida.

PUBLIC KEPT FROM
THE TRUTH -- THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION -- Washington Post's Bob Woodward tells of
how in 2007, Chief of Staff, Andrew Card with indirect support from other high
officials in the government, made attempts to get rid of the then Defence
Secretary, Donald Rumsfield who knew about the secrets, and the plan to hide the
truth from the US voters and citizens. More on this can be read in his book
'State of Denial' Bush at War Part 3.

THE STENCH OF
AMERICAN JUDICIAL CORRUPTION -- One would not suppose the USA could sink lower,
but it can and does. They have now got a man who intended to honour his
innocence to refute it by pleading guilty -- in order to get out of jail earlier
-- that man, the victim, is UK Citizen Christopher Tappin extradited by the bent
UK Law System on charges of helping the Iranians, and involving the supposed
attempt to supply missile batteries....he has now been urged to plead guilty as
they tormented him with the prospect of serving up to 35 years. To get what they
want he only serves around two years and they might if they feel good, let him
serve it in the UK.

THE WRIT AGAINST
MAYOR TOM BRADLEY -- Los Angeles. Around the Time of the Rodney King incident,
Mayor Tom Bradley was up to his neck trying to squirm out of misconduct
allegations. The City Attorney filed a lawsuit against him -- a six count
lawsuit of 'intentionally or negligently' failing to report at least $222,000 in
financial holdings as required by the State Political Reform Act. The Mayor
agreed to pay a $20,000 fine for failing to disclose his investments...other
accusations that he misused city resources prompted him to return $55,000 to
'questionable fundraisers' Even the FBI were looking into his dealings;
especially Insider Dealings' amid talk of his dishonesty, lying, and breaches of
integrity. Mayor Bradley was never pushed out of office, he had friends!

THE JACK ABRAMOFF
SCANDAL -- Jack Ambramoff was convicted of mail fraud and conspiracy, he was the
key figure in a corruption investigation in The White House --Officials J.Steven
Griles and David Satavian, Bob Ney and nine others were arrested. Abramoff was
given 6 years prison, but was released after doing three and a half years in a
federal jail.

THE FREZNO COUNTY
CORRUPTION SCANDAL --- California FBI Agent Jim Wedick hoped he could close the
case on one of the biggest corruption cases of his career -- when they arrested
four crooked state senators and ten other public officials.

CORRUPTION IN THE
USA continues with the related case of The Stanford Fraud Case involving a
$7billion fraud involving cricket. The American tycoon Allen Stanford wants his
trial delayed for a long time. His lawyers say that he is ill -- he has been
held since 2009 and it is now 2011, two years and no end in sight. He faces 21
counts of fraud. The big-time swindler ran a ' Ponzi type ' scam carried out
through his bank in Antigua. This pillar of society, yes, a familiar word used
before they are discovered, even had a knightood. Wikileaks released info
suspecting this man was involved in a huge fraud, but of course, the Americans
didn't take any notice at the time - when it said ' The controversial
billionaire companies are rumoured to engage in bribery, money laundering and
political manipulations' -- and now this important man is at the centre of a
huge financial fraud.

THE MEDICARE $295
MILLION DOLLAR FRAUD -- 91 people have been arrested and charged across eight
cities in the USA for ' false-billing' according to news reports. Doctors,
nurses and medical professionals have been involved in medicare fraud schemes
stealing precious taxpayers resources it said.

THE BCCI FRAUD SCANDAL -- America's
great banking scandal, regarded as the financial scandal of the century at the
time. The fraud was exposed in 1991 with the amazing abrupt closure of the
Bank of Credit and Commerce International. The World suddenly received a
wake-up call that banking was not what they thought, yet others had been trying
to get this across. Questions arose about the CIA and why they had not
passed on their knowledge of this BCCI corruption to Government sources?
The links to terrorism at the BCCI went ignored, and even the Bank of England
did not act on the strong evidence of fraud, and the inherent deceit that moved
into place to cover up this story. Corruption in the BCCI was said to have begun
in the 1980's when operations within the banking system at BCCI offered Muslim
Groups banking deals which resulted in a good time for terror gangs,
money-laundering and under-the-table arms deals involving International Security
Services, drugs, and dictators. When the BCCI collapsed it left a huge amount of
small shareholders adrift....their money had been used in many corrupt schemes
involving billions of dollars used in charming oil rich Arabs and making loans
to Middle East concerns that had other agendas. Politicians fell headlong into
the glitz and did not question the lavish spending on big business entertainment
and charity events, all of which hid the real truth of BCCI's financial scandal.

BUSINESSMAN RAJ
RAJARATNAM IS JAILED --U.S. Hedge fund boss of the Galleon Group was jailed for
insider trading and received a sentence of 11 years in prison. It was said by
the Judge that ' crimes and the scope of crimes reflect a virus in our business
culture that needs to be eradicated ' Raj was found guilty on 14 counts of
securities fraud and conspiracy charges. It was said that 24 co-conspirators
had already been sent to jail. He was fined £6.4 million and ordered to hand
over £34million in illegal gains.

TEXAN BILLIONAIRE
GETS 110 YEARS--- accusing the Government of involvement and ruining his
business in order to substantiate the charges. Allen Stanford who had a global
financial empire was accused of swindling investors of around 12 billion
dollars. Houston Prosecutors were looking for a 230 year jail sentence!!

THE PRIME
MORTGAGE SCANDAL has been firmly associated with the U.S. Government and the way
they concealed their involvement in allowing loans with the banks to people who
could not afford them, thus creating the grounds for the financial crisis that
dogs the world today. It has been revealed that they deliberately took no
notice of advisors well before the matter became unmanageable. The loans far
outreached what was normally expected and homebuyers without security were
allowed to get into huge debt.

AMERICAN GANG
BEHIND £30 MILLION GLOBAL CYBER ROBBERY: Yes, the Americans certainly have the
Internet figured out....they have a monopoly over its software, search engines
and much more.....so it comes as no surprise to find that an American gang made
an online heist of grabbing money from cash points in many countries all over
the globe. The well trained hackers only took ten hours to make 36,000
unlimited cash withdrawals using swipe cards with hijacked data.

US -- STANFORD
EXECUTIVE IN $8.6 BILLION FRAUD SWINDLE -- Texan R.Allen Stanford was sentenced
to 5 years in jail for swindling investors in one of the biggest Ponzi Schemes
in the history of the USA. He pleaded guilty after doing a deal with State
Prosecutors who'd originally asked for a 30 year prison sentence.

FAKE WINE MAKER OF 'VINTAGE ORIGIN'
IS JAILED ---- Collector and seller of vintage wine Rudy Kurniawan was jailed
for ten years by the court for trading in and making false vintage wine in his
Californian kitchen. He sold the stuff for tens of millions of dollars
said the prosecution. The cheap 'witch's brew' was deemed not safe or
confirmed safe by the foods and drink watchdog...and the public must be
protected said the judge.

US FINANCIAL GROUP IN CRIMINAL
INQUIRY -- Former staff at the firm of Combined Insurance, a subsidiary of
US Financial Group ACE are under a criminal investigation concerning the
Australian Securities and Investment Commission over allegations that they used
fake mobile phones to steal clients' identities and maximise their commission
payments. It says that up to 60 percent of Combined Insurance 70,000
Australian policyholders could be affected by the scam.

THE LYNCH MOB
techniques in the law to silence Wikileaks reminds one of the USA Racism and
Prejudice that hammers down anything that might challenge its supremacy or
reveal the real face and agenda of those in power. History has shown us that
black people stood trial for crimes they did not commit amid bent judges, power
mad lawyers and cops who made sure the evidence disappeared. Some of these
innocents were executed while those who were instrumental in putting them there
and covering up retired unconcerned about what they really were. Some left
prison without a penny of compensation with the authorities thinking they never
owed it and why? because the USA isn't the great freedom giant it pretends to
be. --- it lives the lie!

CORRUPT U.S.
GOVERNMENT bring bogus charges and jail whistleblower who reveals their criminal
acts; they are holding Bradley Manning who supplied Wikileaks with confidential
documents that showed government cover-ups, lies and deceit at the very top of
the political system. He wanted to show the world how corrupt the Americans are
and what they will do to silence opposition, and being jailed has proved this
beyond a doubt. The U.S. Government say it has to do with Security hoping to
justify the arrest, but it merely shows you how far they will go to remove
opposition to their schemes and criminal acts they wish to keep a secret.

U.S.PRESIDENT
OBAMA NAMED IN COVER-UP -- as he dismisses Inspector General Gerald Walpin who
was investigating prominent Obama Supporter, Kevin Johnson. The tax and finance
chief Walpin said this was an attempt to suppress wrong-doing by Johnson who was
misusing taxpayers cash for political activities.

THE DEAL WITH
CHINA THAT COMPROMISES AMERICA -- Wikileaks revealed the thing that probably
annoyed the USA the most, and that was the Chinese bailing out America's
Internal Debt Crisis. Before this happened leaked cables showed America
increasingly alarmed by China's increasing military power. In 2007 the little
known incident of the Chinese shooting down one of their own satellites
displeased the US. This led to a communicate saying America would defend its
space hardware and interests. Then as if in retaliation and to show similar
power, the USA shot down one of their US satellites in 2008, but claimed they
were getting rid of a used and obsolete model. It was also revealed that after
the Chinese bailout Hilary Clinton said in a cable, 'How do you deal toughly
with your banker' America's largest foreign creditor. It was also at the same
time America appeased China by banning protestors on the Olympic torch
journey...contrary to what it preached about freedom of expression. This was
obviously to please Beijing, which it did for a while!

AMERICA'S WAR
GAMES CHINA-STYLE AND HALF A BILLION DOLLAR LOAN -- Mixing it in Asia has been a
side show that the US have been playing since the start of the Second World
War. They even 'courted' China's leader Chou En-Lai (who along with Chairman
Mao symbolized a regime of oppression and corruption). President Roosevelt
showed a keenness to open negotiations with Yenan at the same time the half
billion dollar deal was being given to Chungking (who was getting ammunition
from Germany). Even the Nazis supplied China with sixty percent of its
ammunition in 1939 when the USA's ally Britain was at war with Germany! Yet,
there they were, the Americans backing Chungking forces with American
Forces...Kuomintang were astonished to find the Americans supporting both sides
and wanting Kuomintang and Chungking to be a partnership as war raged around the
country. America was also mixing it with Japan before Pearl Harbour ruined the
economic plans in Asia. When this happened they threw all their weight into
supporting China to overthrow their aggressive neighbour...and out came another
'lend-lease' agreement.

WHICH STATE TOPS
THE LEAGUE IN CORRUPTION? --- A report says that goes to North Dakota, where
Government corruption apparently oozes. Federal Agents arrested Illinois
Governor Rod Blagojevich after a 'wiretap' recorded him committing a crime. He
actually ran for office in an election on 'a clean-up' ticket after his
predecessor, Republican George Ryan was convicted in 2006 of racketeering,
bribery and extortion. Alaska booted out Republican Senator Ted Stevens who was
found guilty of not declaring or reporting gifts from wealthy friends.
Louisiana Democratic Republican William Jefferson was indicted in 2007 on
racketeering and bribery after investigators found $90,000 in marked currency in
his freezer!

ONE MUST NOT
FORGET WATERGATE when looking at the USA, it revealed corruption right at the
top of government -- the President, Nixon, who said he could not be touched --
he was the law! and he never did a day in jail for what he did. People around
him, and that was officials like FBI and CIA subverted investigations and tried
to cover up evidence in order for lies to be told to the people of America.
Investigations never revealed how many people carried out covert activities to
cover up the real amount of corruption, they were mysteriously discontinued.
Many high ranking officials and police officers walked away from being exposed
as it was best for 'damage limitation' and besides, some were near to pension so
it wasn't in the public interest to pursue them?

THE DANIEL
ELLSBERG 'Pentagon Papers' which led to 'WATERGATE' -- National Security as we
now know all too well these days includes the covering up of lies, sacrificing
the innocent in order to sustain those lies, and making it impossible for the
truth to be exposed by virtue of laws designed to suppress and defeat challenge.
This is what Daniel Ellsberg faced when he realised documents had been altered,
changed, and re-presented in order to fool the Nation. He was a key worker in
that 7,000 page 'Top secret' analysis and felt he had to expose the truth even
if it meant that he could be charged with treason. Ellsberg was incredibly
lucky really, in that the Pentagon reacted like a bull out of a gate. Due to
Nixon Aides, officials resorted to burglary and break-ins and were caught. The
FBI aided these moves at times and became 'jobsworths' as they too got caught up
in the object of silencing Ellsberg...but no FBI men were ever arrested or
charged...neither were some policemen and Pentagon staff who stood on the
sidelines knowing that senior staff were carrying out something wrong, they
would have happily seen Ellsberg jailed for life...and continued their lives
without a care...yet many got away with their part in the scandal, only a
handful were ever charged and did jail time....such is democracy and truth!

THE RODNEY KING
RIOTS ---Los Angeles was burning for six days, all because justice failed the
impoverished and poor besides the American Blacks. The four cops who beat up
Rodney King were acquitted? despite camera footage...and that sparked the riots
of the 90's....it highlighted the corruption within the legal system and the
police force, who later said the legal system did not find the cops guilty??

THE MIAMI RIOTS
OF 1989 -- was another Police Brutality Issue that raised questions on police
tactics etc.

THE KLU KLUX KLAN
were an extreme organisation led and controlled by bigoted US white males who
despised the coloured race - blacks -- and sympathisers with acts of murder,
destruction and torture. Some were unmasked as police officers, town officials
and businessmen all hiding behind masks to carry out despicable deeds that
shamed America. They burnt, terrorised and committed a sort of genocide acting
much like the Hitler SS. Like their cowboy past, they lynched and executed
blacks. Many of them got away without prosecution because the American Judiciary
were not willing to expose who among them had assisted the massacres.

THE SHOOTING OF
CIVIL RIGHTS CAMPAIGNERS --- The US Government ordered police and troops to
shoot civil rights marchers, which led to one of the bloodiest atrocities in the
History of America, something they would prefer to forget!

USA OPPOSE BAN ON
LAND MINES BECAUSE OF FINANCIAL INTEREST and they supplied these weapons that
don't just kill the enemy. During the condemnation of land mines in Angola and
other regions, in which several countries united to ban this weapon, the U.S.A.
opposed the ban -- largely because they were making money in deals to supply
mines. The atrocities caused by these mines to civilians angered and shocked
Europe, the UK who called for them to be outlawed, but the only outlaws that
could be seen afterwards were the Americans!!

MANY US JUDGES
ARE CHARGED WITH CORRUPTION, but too many for us to list here, (we have featured
a few) -- in fact, we'd probably use up all the available web size to
accommodate the hundreds and thousands we'd have to list -- which would include
the lawyers too. It would probably make interesting and sad reading so we shall
leave Wikipedia to guide you to those cases scattered all over the Internet.
Many such cases involve bribes and sex scandals, but our own judges we feature
have similar incidents, so we shall leave it to you to scour the internet and
enjoy yourself.

JUDGE UNDER CORRUPTION ALLEGATIONS
-- JUDGE LAYNE WALKER is facing allegations that he may have misused funds.....
reports say that he is lashing out at his accusers and those he sees against
him. The County Judge of Jefferson is being investigated by the Texas
State Commission and The FBI.

THE STRANGE U.S.
LAW AND JUDGE JUDY SHEINDLIN --- The exported show purports to be about a small
claims procedure -- amounts being $5000 yet, much of the material is about
crimes, criminal acts such as assault and theft etc, one recently (2007)covered
a young guy having set fire to a letting where he was building a marijuana farm,
and had most of the stuff in place. Yet, he was not in jail for conspiracy to
supply a drug by the act of providing the means to support the growing of and
the quantity beyond any personal use? One hears about how countries should be
getting tough on drugs, suppliers etc, especially the U.S. and Columbia, and
this individual was just being sued for damages? others in countries like
Singapore and Malaysia are serving up to 20 years for less than what this young
man did.....is the U.S. really a Sheriff or just trying to make it look that
way?

USA PROSECUTION
LAWYER CAUGHT WITH DRUGS -- A Prosecutor for New Orleans, Attorney Jason
Cantrell was caught in possession of marijuana when a joint fell out of his
pocket (an unfortunate incident) in front of a cop at the Parish Magistrates
court. He was charged by the Police and suspended from his position.

U.S. SCAM LAWYERS
CONVICTED OF FRAUD --- In Frankfurt, Louisville, a Federal District Court
convicted Lawyers William Gallion and Shirley Cunningham Jr, of scamming 440
Kentuckian plaintiffs on nine counts including wire fraud and conspiracy. The
seven week trial resulted in the men facing up to 20 years in prison and a fine
of $250,000. In Aiken County, Lawyer Anthony Clark Odom, once the former Aiken
County Assistant Solicitor General, was arrested and charged with sexual
misconduct against a minor. The victim was an undercover agent. She said 'he
believed he was chatting up and soliciting sex from a 13year old girl'

JUDGE IN ASSAULT ATTEMPT AT LAWYER
-- A Florida county Judge John Murphy took a hit at the assistant public defence
lawyer, because he was annoying him. Court video caught the scene on
camera as the judge threw a punch at lawyer Andrew Weinstock as they were
attempting to settle a disputed trial date. The Judge challenged him
to go outside and settle it in 'the old way' The Judiciary
asked him to step down and attend anger management counselling.

CRAZY LAWYER SHOT BY COPS IN FLORIDA
-- A graduate Lawyer, Myron May, was shot by the police at the Florida State
University Library after he shot three people, none of whom died from their
wounds. Myron May was killed.

MANY US LAWYERS
are there on the Web having committed fraud and bribery etc, too, so go to the
Internet and follow the advice above if you wish to see them and have the time
to read most or all of them. Just type in Bent Lawyers, thieving Lawyers,
corrupt lawyers etc, and you should find a list of results...also use the word
solicitor or attorney, barristers to widen your search.

P.S. There are
hundreds of cops having been indicted and committing crimes also on many, many
pages.

'CORRUPTION BY
THE USA OVER INTERNET POLICIES AND MEDIA POWER BACKED BY CORPORATIONS AND
GOVERNMENT --- Robert McChesney let fly at the U.S. Government in his recent
book looking into ' The corrupt and Secretive Enactment of Public Policies
Surrounding the Internet ' - Class Privilege over Democracy tells us that the
United States connived within the powers of government to create myths so that
the people would not look too closely into the U.S.Media System. They
deliberately gave the impression to the public of ' this new technology will set
you free ' when in fact, it was meant to cut off and suppress all possibilities
of informed public debate.

THE USA INTERNET
GIANTS CONTRADICT US BELIEFS OF FREEDOM --- Microsoft, Google, Yahoo and Cisco
were called into answer questions at a special Congressional sub-committee for
aiding and abetting Chinese repressive policies on repression. One Chinese
dissident and critic has already been jailed because of info given by one of
these search engines. The committee reacted to the displeasure of Internet users
who said there was double standards operating in secrecy. Capital Hill rapped
the four and said they were co-operating too closely with Hu's crackdown on
China's critics. The American slogan 'The Brave and Free' is not that true.

Big business,
corporations, professionals and legal bodies, began to see how they could bend
the meanings of ' The First Amendment ' to their advantage and undermine the
balance of Citizenry power so that a fraction of the citizenry could benefit
greatly, and give them undue political power. By the same token these same
people were eager to keep ' The Telecommunications Act of 1996 ' as it was so
that they could benefit more as the Internet opened up more to commerce. There
were no public discussions on how best the Internet could serve the people --
these corporations were ' self-regulating ' without accountability, keeping for
the most part very secretive while getting the nods and winks from politicians
on their payroll. Many governments outside the U.S, including the U.K. seek
overall control of the Internet so that they can manipulate and suppress public
criticism, investigation and free speech, because WHAT THEY REALLY FEAR IS '
BEING FOUND OUT '

ANTI-VIRUS INTERNET BOSS JOHN McAFEE
was evicted from his Oregan apartment and accused of stalking. It is said
that McAfee had fled from Belize where police wanted to interview him about a
fatal shooting of a US expatriate who lived near his property...he arrived in
Pacific Northwest last winter (2012).

THE PERSONAL
SERVICES VICE SCANDAL USA MANHATTAN STYLE -- Spanking, fetishes and sex in the
USA, at last revealed as the USA have their own 'Cynthia Payne' -- In court is a
British Madam who has the goods on the super rich and officials in Government.
Anna Gristina has her black book with many names -- powerful people in politics,
law enforcement, lawyers and the ultra wealthy in American Society. She was
denied bail by the judge because of the possibility that others in the police or
government might help her escape in order to prevent themselves being exposed
and embarrassed. The 'Madam' is charged with promoting prostitution. She fled to
Canada after a tip-off before finally being arrested. This comes after the
Prostitution Scandal involving New York Governor Eliot Spitzer whose career
ended abruptly. She was stated as having a brothel on East 78th Street.

INTERNATIONAL
CHILD PORN SQUAD NET 222 USA CITIZENS --- The Child pornography Investigation
Unit along with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency arrested 222
Americans and 23 others from six other countries. Agency Director John Morton
said that although they'd arrested 23 other people from six other countries
outside the US the majority of suspects and offenders were Americans.
'Operation Sunflower' was ongoing for five weeks from Nov 1st to December the
7th 2012 identifying people who own, trade or produce child pornography.

AMERICAN AIR
FORCE SEX SCANDAL -- Air Force Training Instructor Tech Sgt Bobby Bass was
jailed for six months and reduced in rank, plus a fine of $3,000. The Military
sex scandal revealed that Bass had forced recruits to stand naked as he looked
on; he was found guilty of 31 charges including wrongful sex, assault, cruelty,
assault and maltreatment, and dereliction of duty. He was charged initially
with male rape, but got off?

US MERCENARIES SCANDAL -- Four
guards who worked for Blackwater a controversial US Security Firm have been
found guilty of 30 Iraq deaths. They opened fire into a crowd of unarmed
civilians in Baghdad. Three of the men were found guilty of manslaughter,
and one of first degree murder. Nicholas Slatten, Paul Slough, Evan
Liberty and Dustin Heard were found guilty of killing at least 12 people....and
the attempted murder of 11 others.

THE MILITARY VICE
SCANDAL -- It has been reported that five American Soldiers are involved in a
vice scandal in which Eleven Secret Service Guards were booted out of Columbia.
The soldiers have been confined to barracks after the scandal involving
prostitutes became public. It has been revealed that both the soldiers and
Secret Service Guards took prostitutes to their rooms, and that the five
soldiers violated curfew....and this was all before Obama's visit.....and they
were there to check out security.

AMNESTY HAS
RECORDED 450 DEATHS OF UNARMED SUSPECTS BEING KILLED BY USA POLICE OFFICERS IN
THIS GUN-TOTTING NATION OF COWBOYS.

' U.S. Government
and FBI in huge unreported Financial Scandal '

We have made
great attempts to verify this story. Our source relied on a confidential letter
handed to us by a Prison Warden on the Isle of Wight, a Mr Thomas Curran, who
incidentally failed to turn up at a secret meeting in Portsmouth. He had
previously told us he had a huge file and proof to back up his story, and that
he had contacts in the U.S. He had hoped initially that this should go to
Wikileaks, but his non-appearance or receipt of the file meant that we could not
forward it to our friends. However, other lines of investigation did connect
with the document and we shall now begin. Mr. Curran said his suspicions did
begin in 2008 whilst watching a BBC programme about tower 7, the third tower to
come down on 9/11. He said he was shocked to later learn that tower 7 contained
'one dreadful secret' --- files and documents of an FBI investigation of
banks/financial houses that had been placed in the tower had all been destroyed,
conveniently so, he said. Mr.Curran pointed out that his relative Hugh Curran
who was killed in the early hours of 14th December in Ossining, New York had
money in a trust fund that was held by the Chase Manhattan Bank (one of the
banks under investigation). He states he received along with others, a set of
accounts regarding the financial fund - which did not ring true. Legal
Representatives at the Law Firm kept saying ' We represent a respectable bank '
but Mr Curran had no intention of signing for the release of the fund. In early
December 2001 the eldest of the ' remaindermen ' pleaded for him to sign
promising that as soon as they got the money they would take the bank to the
cleaners. The truth began to take several years to emerge and the programme in
2008 changed it all. When did the FBI begin the investigation? what information
made the FBI investigate the bank? Did the FBI cover-up what was going on? Who
stopped the investigation? What happened to the investigation files, discs,
computer hard drives and paperwork? When was all the results of this
investigation placed in a dept in tower 7? He goes on to say the
convenient atomising of this evidence was the work of Dick Chaney taking orders
from George W. Bush, whom he believes was looking after his own interests and
those of his friends on Wall St. He says The White House Administration saw
their chance to benefit from this when that fateful day 9/11 happened and the
attack took out two towers, whereas a careful explosion designed to make the
building fall in itself befell the tower 7 and the financial horror would be
kept secret - which was very convenient for the banks who'd been under
investigation?

Mr.Curran's
claims of a crooked Law Firm in White Plains led us to McCarty Fingar Donovan
and Drazen, cash paid to a judge and the Estate of Margaret McKeown and the
Hudson Valley Bank who made payments of thousands of dollars to Judge Scarpino
in loans? The law firm appeared before a court in a case concerning relief
against McCarty Fingar who implied they had a special relationship with a
judge. She, Justice Sandra Miller denied this, but was later found to be
employed by the law firm? Proceedings involving Carvel Ice Cream Estates
led to an amazing clash as Surrogate Judge Scarpino refused to disqualify
himserlf in rulings regarding Frank Streng and McCarty Fingar, even after he'd
finally re-accused himself in the McKeown estate for similar reasons. In a
paper report Surrogate Scarpino denied an application to disqualify himself
despite the production of undisputed documents showing his rather fortunate
connection with the Hudson Valley Bank, another of the banks under investigation
and benefiting from the Tower 7 demise.

There is more on
this and it can be accessed by going to McCarty Fingar Donovan, Drazen, in the
search box on the Internet which goes much further than we have in establishing
dirty dealings in the judiciary, legal profession, and Government. We only
scratched the surface so it may need more excavation deep style!!

AMERICAN TROOPS
POSE WITH AFGHAN BODIES --- Outrage erupted on the discovery of American troops
grinning as they hold up the severed legs of a suicide bomber. The troops form
the 82nd Airborne Division smile happily for the camera. This follows the
paratroopers in the same platoon posing with three bodies of insurgents who had
fallen foul of their own bomb device. Two soldiers hold up the hand of a corpse
and so it went on.

THE EMBARRASSING
STAND BY RUTLEDGE AND THE TREATY WITH BRITAIN --- George Washington's nominee
for Chief Justice -- John Rutledge, was rejected because he opposed 'The Jay
Treaty' with Britain in 1794. This was a treaty of Commerce and Navigation to
facilitate ten years of peaceful trade between America and Britain. It specified
the withdrawal of British Army Units and wartime debts to be sent to
arbitration. There was also the matter of Canadian boundaries which had been
fiercely contested. The Americans were granted limited rights to trade with
British possessions in India and the colonies in the Caribbean in exchange for
some limits on American cotton exports. The treaty was ratified on February the
29th in 1796.

IN 1947 THE USA
PLACED TIT-FOR-TAT EMBARGOS ON THE UK OVER FILM DISTRIBUTION -- America's film
Industry actively thwarted J.Arthur Rank from getting its films into countries
and signing deals. They feared competition, much like Microsoft now, practised
unfair competition tactics in order to profit from a monopoly.

USA AND THE
'FALKLANDS' THREAT TO UK --- A report reveals that the good old USA more or less
were prepared to throw aside the so-called 'special relationship' in favour of
telling the Argentineans that British Troops were about to come ashore on South
Georgia. Files exposed the decision by the Americans to stay neutral, which
meant they could stay friends with Argentina.....said by Al Haig US Secretary of
State.

THE USA LIES AND
ATROCITIES --- We can only feature a mere look at this as there is so much, and
much of it is very disturbing.....but it happened, it is documented, some
hidden, but it is here for you to see:

For more facts of
a truly staggering size visit

American
Atrocities in Iraq is a very disturbing and detailed work of research with U.S.
Soldiers named and in some case photographed. Go to
www.mindprod.com
- the Iraq War Atrocities by the USA.

In Korea the
American soldiers regularly levelled cities, towns and villages causing great
numbers of innocent civilians to die horrifically claiming it was all part of
the war.

THE MY LAI
MASSACRE 1968 -- The worst case of American War Crimes -- A company of American
Soldiers murdered nearly 500 Vietnamese civilians --- note: The Court Martial
Transcripts were 'sickening' to read -- it showed the random execution of
babies, men. women and children along with sexual assaults and other perverse
brutalities.

During 1965 -
1973 trials did take place concerning crimes against Vietnamese civilians -- 241
cases of war crimes were dealt with and alleged against US troops. 36 court
martial's were set up --- 201 US soldiers and 77 marines were convicted of
serious crimes.

AMERICA'S DIRTY
WARS and Practices -- These are exposed on a webpage and level acts of Abuse,
the framing of Mumia Abu-Jamal. the framing of Elmer Pratt -- Prisoner abuse --
The Bradley Manning abuses -- The Lynne Stuart Case and oodles more that we
cannot cover here -- go to
www.projectsalam.org
for more on this.

THE AFGHAN
MASSACRE 2012 ---- One US Soldier, a Sergeant, kills 16 people and nine of them
were children.... and three were mothers. Sixteen civilians shot at night in
their beds. The rampage by a soldier stationed in Afghanistan who was there to
protect them has set back relations to an all time low apart from outraging the
ordinary people. There was talk of the soldier going on trial in Afghanistan
where he would most likely go to the hangman. However, it has now been revealed
that the Americans have whisked him away back to the USA so as not to have a
diplomatic incident over the real fact the death penalty would have been surely
given in the light of this crime whether US or not....and getting that changed
would have been unlikely.

U.S. AIRMAN
CHARGED WITH ASSAULTING JAPANESE BOY --- The incident is said to have happened
on the Japanese Island of Okinawa, two weeks after a curfew was called on 52,000
U.S.Troops, which followed after the arrest of two U.S. Sailors accused of
raping a woman. The 24 year old Airman was said to have entered an apartment
block and punched a 13 year old boy before trashing a TV set. It says his
escape went wrong and was taken to a Military Hospital.

U.S. SOLDIER ADMITS TO SLAUGHTER OF
16 CIVILIANS -- A Veteran of four combat tours, Staff Army Sergeant Robert
Bales pleaded guilty to having murdered 16 Afghan citizens in cold blood.
In the Military Court it was discovered that the killings were premeditated, but
in a move to avoid the death penalty a deal was made with the Prosecutor.
It was heard that he gunned down men, women and children who were completely
unarmed. The 'decorated' soldier is awaiting sentence from the Court
Martial, and it is even said that the sentence will include the possibility of
parole?

ARMY OFFICER KILLS 13 AT FORT --
A Officer - Medic Corps Major Nidal Malik Hasan opened fire killing 13 at the
Fort Hood Centre in Texas in 2009 has had several delays which finally sees the
defendant at a court martial where it is said that he has the authority to cross
exam the survivors of his shooting spree....he is facing thirteen counts of
premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted murder.

MORE ON THE USA
DOUBLE STANDARDS --- The soldier has been named as Staff Sergeant Robert Bales
who is now in Kansas -- his lawyer has come forward with the 'get out clause'
that of trauma and battle fatigue' despite a US official claiming he was drunk
when he went on the massacre? However, that aside, we have uncovered a similar
incident where the US removed the crew of a Military plane that crashed into a
cable car in Italy killing twenty people -- the crew were quickly flown back to
the USA to avoid a trial and the authorities in Italy before they could do
anything to hold the suspects. They later appeared in a US court and received
very lenient sentences!! --- this happened in 1998. Yet when the US demands to
try others from countries like the UK etc, the extradition is granted which
clearly shows a two-faced totally different form of justice -- one for its own,
and another for everyone else.

U.S. IN SECRET
TRIPS TO FLIRT WITH NORTH KOREA -- Are the American Government running scared?
or feeling rather afraid..... The Los Angeles Times reveals that two trips to
North Korea have already been made as US Officials try to improve relations with
the Koreans as Leader Kim Jong-un makes the Americans nervous over launch tests
of nuclear long-range missiles, and openly tells the Press that the USA is a
definite enemy.

THE TRAYON MARTIN
SCANDAL -- The US Government are reeling as unexpected reaction from an outraged
public gathers momentum in Florida. At first they pondered and thought it would
fade away, but not this time. Trayon Martin unarmed, was shot dead by a white
man assuming status of local neighbourhood defender. He was not charged with the
killing and claimed it was done in defence. Bill Lee, the Chief of Police in the
Sanford Force has stepped down and calls for Commissioner Mark McCarty to resign
abound as protestors mount rallies backed by the Florida Civil Rights
Association. NAACP is taking statements from people who have accused Sanford
Police of abuse and non-existent investigations. President Obama became involved
and went on TV to give a personal statement assuring the people of Sanford that
a thorough investigation would be carried out.

USA DEMAND PROBE
ON UK BANKS SHOUTING LOUDLY TO CREATE DIVERSION -- A British MP has spoken out
against America saying the US is deliberately attempting to damage London's
banks in order to hide their own situation and capitalise on it. John Mann MP
said that Britain in turn should be allowed to investigate US Banks over the
Libor situation, and reveal their motivations and dirty dealings. He said the UK
are showing a weakness in letting the Americans do as they like because of the
notion of great friendship so long as one friend is silent?

US GOVERNMENT TO
BE SUED IN AIG LAWSUIT -- The US Government are to be sued by the American
International Group, who were bailed out during the financial crisis. It is
seriously considering joining the $25 billion lawsuit filed by Starr
International in 2011, a one time big shareholder in AIG. The Companies accuse
the US Government of too-onerous terms in the 2008/9 rescue package.

THE HIGH COST IN
US POLITICIANS -- It appears that around $3 million dollars of taxpayers cash
was used in providing an exclusive club for the Presidents. A new Congressional
Research Service says they spent $3.7 million on the 4 living ex-presidents. In
another Report covering 'The misuse of Campaign funds' the Conservative
Republican Michele Bachman is being investigated for misuse of campaign funds,
which is part of a Federal investigation.

IS THE USA
CREATING A DIVERSION ON THEIR OWN PEOPLE IN ACCUSING RUSSIA OF SPYING? --
America has supposedly broken up a spy network they claim work for Russia and
the Kremlin.....they arrested eleven people and say the charges are of a
criminal nature. They have informed the press that this group were into
illegally acquiring US-made micro-electronic components for Russian military spy
agencies? This could well be a ploy by the FBI and CIA to get snoopers off
their back, especially in an election year. Both these Agencies have been known
to 'manufacture' evidence and instigate a plot themselves.

THE PRISON
CORRECTION SCHEME THAT WAS HIJACKED BY GREED --- The United States Correction
Corporation of Georgia is said to be the producer of manufactured goods made by
prisoners who cannot be paid for their labour. This nice little earner racks in
huge profits -- the prison says that these inmates must not be paid because it
might distract them from rehabilitation and education programmes. Sadly, what
is not made clear is that 200 teachers were sacked along with counsellors and
librarians. Prisoners who were being taught to read and write had their lessons
etc immediately cancelled, and seventy percent of these were black and Hispanic
inmates. It was also found out that serious corporate crime is by contrast
allowed to go unimpeded despite it being rife........yet another USA Scandal
nicely tucked away.

EXECUTED TEXAS
MAN WAS A JUDICIAL BUNGLE AND ERROR -- News has emerged that a man executed in
1989 was not guilty of the crime -- Carlos De Luna was hastily executed in 1989
after an 'unconvincing' trial and a 'budget allowance' lawyer. A group of
students led by Pofessor Liebman investigating the case by painstakingly going
over all the evidence that led to his conviction and state murder, found that he
could not have been guilty. The report is published under the title 'Los Tocayos;
Anatomy of a wrongful Execution ' Another man in prison who has died, Carlos
Hernandez who looks identical to De Luna admitted the murder. Liebman said
'Flaws in the system wrongfully convicted and executed the wrong man, faulty eye
witness testimony, shoddy representation by his lawyer and misconduct by the
prosecution let this happen' Of course as it is often said, something like
this cannot be reversed or a life be given back, but compensation of around
$125million dollars with an additional $23million paid to his family might teach
the authorities a lesson...they can always take it out of public taxes!!

USA AUTHORITIES PAY $4.1 MILLION
DOLLARS TO STUDENT LEFT IN CELL -- A payout of over 4 million dollars was made
to a student arrested for smoking cannabis who was left handcuffed in a
windowless cell for five days without anyone attending or going to check on his
welfare. Daniel Chong was made the settlement by the US Government.....he
had been taken into custody but told he would not be charged....but no-one came
back to the cell....the DEA Drug Enforcement Agency settled the lawsuit on
behalf of the American Government.

EXECUTED 14 YEAR OLD GETS NEW TRIAL?
--- A coloured boy of 14, executed in the USA seventy years ago is to have a
retrial (despite the state already killing him). George Stinney 14, was
'convicted' of killing two white girls it is said.....but Lawyers examining the
case say that his conviction was 'tainted' by those wanting a guilty verdict in
the Justice system and the scant evidence they provided. He was the
youngest person to be put in the 'Electric Chair',,,,,and even in 1944 there was
an outcry over this. To show how bad the trial was, it lasted less than a
day....and because he failed to convince them where he was at the time of the
killing he was found guilty....most likely because of racial bigots'....who at
that time separated blacks.

Update: It was announced that 14yr
old George Stinney has now received a pardon? 'Big Deal!' I suppose
America think they've atoned for what they did.......they murdered a boy.....and
then give him a meaningless piece of paper issued by the the authorities!

TEXAS EXECUTES 500TH INMATE after
resumption of death penalty in 1982.....The lawyer for the prisoner Maurie Levin
uttered his sadness at Texas and the USA 'I look forward to the day when we
recognise that this pointless and barbaric practice has no place in a
civilized society'......sadly, civilization is not here, not with the Americans
or Asian Countries.......they've hardly moved on from counting bricks and
painting by numbers!

LOUISIANA HOODWINKS HOSPITAL
PURCHASE -- Because the drug issue was 'sensitive' the State of Louisiana
Department of Corrections (prison) bought a death penalty drug without informing
the hospital that it was intended for use in a lethal injection. They
chose not to inform the hospital because of opposition and the EU withholding on
these substances for killing people.

FREED INNOCENT
MAN DIES ONE DAY AFTER RELEASE -- Luckily for the Public Purse, David Ranta
who'd spent 23 years in jail for a crime he did not commit died of an heart
attack just 24 hours after his release. The Judge reviewing his case said that
'the police investigation that led to his conviction of the murder of a Rabbi in
New York was seriously flawed' Even though he could have sued for
millions in compensation, he has been denied this and suffered at the hands of
the American Judicial system and Law Enforcement.....who will quietly shove this
away having escaped paying.

MAN FREED AFTER 30 YEARS -- Yet
another US Authorities bungle that could have seen an innocent man die.
Glenn Ford from Louisiana was freed from prison by a Judge who on reading the
original court conviction found that there was a striking lack of evidence to
support that decision. It also revealed that he was at the time
represented by inexperienced defence lawyers and the unconstitutional
suppression of evidence by the court and prosecutors at the time, (none of whom
are named).

DEATH ROW BROTHERS FREE AFTER 30
YEARS -- Two brothers were cleared of rape and murder after being
convicted 30 years previously and sentenced to death. Brothers Henry Mc
Collum and half-brother Leon Brown were cleared after new DNA evidence showed
they did not carry out the murder of Sabrina Buie in Carolina. They
were boys at the time the court convicted them, 19 yrs and 15 yrs......hopefully
they will receive a multi-million payout from the US Government? (perhaps
a minimum of $120 million each or more)

INNOCENT MAN 30 YEARS IN JAIL IS
FREED -- Ricky Jackson was convicted of a killing on the testimony of a 12 year
old witness who was coached by police to give false testimony. The witness
long after the trial, came forward and admitted the statement made was false.
Jackson was convicted of aggravated murder in 1975 of a money-order collector in
Cleveland, Ohio. Eddy Vernon the boy witness, now 51, confessed that he
never saw the attack or killing and his whole testimony was prepared by the
police. The reason he gave for not coming forward was that the cops had
said they would arrest his parents if he changed his story, and he feared that
they would be fitted-up. Well, its another payout, and
at a million a year plus it should be around $35 million dollars that the US
government owe him at least....or as seen before, perhaps $120 million, which is
more like it.

USA LOSES OUT ON
GARY MCKINNON EXTRADITION -- Gary McKinnon a UK citizen has spent ten years
being hounded by the USA for 'hacking in the Pentagon' - which could probably be
done by many hackers. He did this from a small flat in Britain...never on
American soil....but the FBI came after him. Britain has at last seen sense and
refused his extradition.....however, one might suggest that the USA stop
bullying and concentrate on their old enemy JAPAN....in just 55 years after it
was defeated, they have now become an economic giant about to surpass the
USA....instead of weapons, they now have a means to give the Americans some real
grief... and quite possibly they intend to do that.

USA EXTRADITION TARGETS ANOTHER
BRITISH COUPLE --- Once again the US authorities have grabbed some UK
citizens, claiming they were involved in a $1 million dollar expenses
fiddle.....Bankrupt couple Paul and Sandra Dunham are said to be facing death
behind bars in a dispute over work expenses. They were arrested with
British Police help at their home in Northampton in November 2012. Groups
against this American Anglo Agreement say that this is a civil case...which has
been turned into a criminal accusation by the USA.... and apparently in 2011 Mr
Dunham was indicted on 13 counts of fraud and money laundering by a Grand Jury
in Maryland. His wife was indicted on eight counts of fraud...the possible
sentence being 240 years! It is also stated that British Magistrates
allowed the extradition to proceed!

THE USA AND THE EVIL THEY DARE NOT
FACE UP TO -- For a country that aspires to freedom and the right to express
oneself, the USA come tops in bigotry. They slaughtered Indian
communities and abused the children in schools forbidding them to adopt any of
their culture. Kids were beaten and forced to swear allegiance to the
American flag in classrooms, those that went against this sometimes disappeared
and years later found in secret unmarked graves. Officials on behalf of
the government and agencies actively took part in these atrocities often helped
by the Church. History books were altered and many leave this part out in
favour of depicting a more false and perverted face of reality. America
has done this for years and despite changes, the old America has not gone away,
just hidden, and what cannot be witnessed is now cleverly covered up by the
government.

CHILD ABUSE AND SEX CASE -- 70
ARRESTED --- A Child sex and abuse Investigation has arrested over
seventy individuals including, a police officer, nurse and boy scout leader in
the City of New York. The Police were on the trail of those
individuals who trafficked in child abuse images, downloading, exchanging and
loading photos to others in the 'underground' network of paedophiles.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement led the investigation and ended with one of
the largest round-ups of 70 men and one woman. They seized around 600
desktop pc's, laptops, tablets and smartphones.

NUDE VIOLINIST SUES POLICE FOR
ARREST -- The man 25yr old Matthew TMglej accused the authorities of excessive
force and violated his First Amendment Rights and is seeking around $1 million
dollars. He was nabbed by police when he was playing his violin naked
outside the Portland Federal Courthouse in 2014.

THE MENGELES AFFAIR and the
AMERICANS -- Dr Mengeles was the most loathed man in the Nazi Unit who performed
horrific surgery on children during World War 11 at the Auswitz Concentration
Camp where thousands of Jews were murdered at the orders of Hitler. He
escaped to the USA where the authorities hid him and made use of him. He
was never brought to justice because of the American intervention and even hid
from the Nazi hunters who were searching for him.

US GOVERNMENT AND
THE GUANTANAMO BAY SCANDAL : A scandal that doesn't go away despite many
attempts by the USA to fob off its critics. A hunger strike has now brought
this appalling special prison back into the World headlines as it now
embarrasses the Americans yet again. The notorious detention building and site
has 166 detainees on hunger strike, and the US Administration is eager to keep
prying eyes and observers well away. Reports of force-feeding are emerging as
it is reported that they took 23 of the weakest prisoners and secured them to a
chair by their wrists, arms, legs, chests and heads, said to be a nasty and ugly
procedure of forcing a tube into the victim's nose after gagging them and
pushing it so it goes into their stomachs......resulting in blood pouring from
their nostrils. Defence Lawyers for the detained have met with resistance and
silence from the US government......many of their clients have never been
charged, one having been imprisoned for eleven years without a
trial..........this is the true face of American Justice!

To this day the
Americans are in denial over atrocities and Government wrongdoing --- one
angered American says only fifty per cent of Americans know the truth but prefer
to ignore it and claim that it is time to move on, but to deny it is the open
door that has no keeper and it is free to begin again.

America has never
learned from History, it just creates more!!

THE AMERICAN
CHASE FOR HISTORY & RECOGNITION -- The USA has travelled far and wide to find
its origins and come out in a blaze of glory, but alas, their history had no
kingdoms, no grand design of honourable intentions and no real past other than
migrants and the subjugation of the Indians, the true Americans. They
slaughtered most of them and took their lands, allowing a few to live on
reservations, while they prospered and occupied those lands with all the
entitlements......realising the only history anyone would know would be the
'Cowboys and Indians' tales, and shootouts, plundered gold and corporation
economic power......that is what America has built itself on.

THE USA rank as
one of the highest corruption capitals in regard to bent cops, lawyers and
judges, and the material if it were to be placed here would go to several
megabytes.

Note: What we
feature here is not the full story but a mere scratching of the surface...to
save on space we have created links for you to go to.....we shall look for more.

SPANISH TOP JUDGE
FACES TRIAL -- The Supreme Court in Spain have refused to throw out the case
against their famous judge Baltasar Garzon who faces charges in two other
trials. He faces accusations that he overstepped his authority--- it is said he
ordered an inquiry into mass killings by forces loyal to a former dictator and
has violated the amnesty agreed in 1977, and that calling for such an inquiry
will open war wounds. But there is a public feeling supported by thousands of
demonstrators in Madrid that are demanding justice.

NB - this reminds
us of the 'Reconciliation Trials' in South Africa when killers in Massacres and
brutal Police were released from their criminal acts and confessing as part of a
deal that allowed them immunity --- which is by all standards fundamentally
wrong -- murderers are hung in some countries -- so what of justice?

SPANISH DUKE IN EMBEZZLEMENT TRIAL
-- News in says that Princess Christina's husband Inaki Urdangarin, who
sometimes uses the title ' Duke of Palma' used his position to embezzle around
E6million Euros in public contracts through a foundation he set up.
Strangely, the Supreme Court has ruled that the Princess cannot be tried on tax
charges (immunity granted)....despite her testifying in the case.

ARGENTINEAN COP
under the influence of booze, kills English tourist. Off-Duty Cop Max Martinez
failed to brake in time on a busy road killing teenager James Painton who was on
holiday. The cop was later prosecuted for drink/driving and speeding.

UKRAINE POLICE
GENERAL MURDERS JOURNALIST TO KILL CORRUPTION STORY -- Police General Olexiy
Pukach was sentenced to life imprisonment for strangling journalist Heorhiy
Gongadze who was about to expose high level corruption in the judiciary, police
and government. The journalist was kidnapped in 2000 and three months later his
body was found in a dense forest. At the time the police steered away
suggestions of a political murder in order to throw off any suspicions of their
involvement, but this failed when the then President Leonid Kuchma was accused
of his involvement in the murder on audio recordings secretly made in his
office. In Kiev, the court convicted the former chief of the Interior
Ministry's surveillance Department.

ASIA --- EVIL
JAIL BOSS Kaing Guek Eav now 69, the Khmer Rouge Chief Jailor who sent more than
12,272 people to their deaths, had his 2010 sentence of 35 years prison
increased at the Phnom Penh tribunal. It was heard that he oversaw and watched
mass torture and executions in the 1970's.

' Pleasant
holiday destination, or something much worse?'

THAILAND AND
TYRANNY OF JUSTICE -- Bangkok Criminal Courts have secured by fear -- the
imposition of tough laws against anyone who oppose the Royal Family be it text
messaging. web blogs, signs or discussion deemed to be insulting (decided by the
judges of course!) or remarks they can categorise as being contempt -- the view
similarly held by Singapore and China's judiciary. They want to crush dissenters
and opposition in any form. It is stated they can impose a 7 year jail term
which has sparked not only fear but accusations that the 'judges enjoy being
untouchable' It is stated under the 112 Law that a man named Somyot could get
30 years in prison for writing two published articles. Another person,
Chiranuch could get 50 years for failing to remove ten 'defamatory' messages
posted on her website message board? Amnesty have launched complaints over
this absurd and Human Rights Abuse, so if you are thinking of going there,
don't....your holiday may turn awful.

THAILAND, BANGKOK
- ARMY COLONEL AND POLITICIAN SUSPECTED IN TRAFFICKING -- Two High Ranking Army
Officers are to be investigated over the trafficking of refugees, and one is
said to be a colonel. Also sought by the authorities is an influential local
politician who they are still looking for. The Press indicates they have been
involved in a trafficking network of taking refugees to a third world country

THAILAND JAILS
DISSENTER FOR 11 YEARS -- for defaming the Monarch! The magazine editor was
convicted of writing two articles the authorities deemed offensive to the Royal
Family. Many believe this was used to silence him as he was campaigning to
reform the strict defamation laws aimed at suppressing comments against the
establishment, and was politically motivated. Observers say that it was unlike
Somyot Prueksakasemsuk to deliberately violate article 122, as he was a known
journalist. They also said Thailand was increasingly becoming suppressive and
heading towards a dictatorship regime........so if you're thinking of taking a
holiday there, go West and book into a country that values freedom and
rights.....do not go to Thailand.

THAILAND JAILS
MAN FOR 'INSULT' -- Yet another crackdown on free speech, as Akachai Hongkangwan
gets sent to jail for three years and four months for selling DVD's showing an
Australian News segment he copied from the Internet which was deemed by the
'oppressive' court as offensive to the Royal Family.

THAILAND AND THE PASSPORT RACKET --
Recent news highlighted the passport scam, and Thailand once again had to face
its unwanted reputation as the place to get a false passport. It appears
that up to 10,000 passports are lost or stolen in the country.....and that the
government sees 'document fraud as a major security threat' Passport
scams are well known and corruption dogs the authorities, coupled with weak law
enforcement some say that it will continue to be a problem. Within hours
of a passport being stolen, it is processed by the thieves and a new customer is
found.....they pay the 'going rate' and it is used before the victim reports it
being stolen....such is the speed of the scam.

THAILAND PREPARED TO HARM CITIZENS
-- The Army General Prayuth Chan-ocha said he was prepared to use force on the
citizens and use weapons against them. This was stated as protestors
caused the Prime Minister to flee after he was besieged by angry demonstrators
who are anti-government.

THAILAND'S POWERFUL ARMY TAKES OVER
--- Overthrowing the Political wing, The Army imposed Martial Law and took over
the running of Thailand in a dramatic takeover. They immediately curtailed
the media and took over national television etc, General Prayuth claimed he had
not launched a coup but reflected on 1914 law, a time when the country was still
an absolute monarchy. He said the army intended to bring peace.....but
some activists have already said this was coming long before the government
problems, because the army was not being feared as much and its role was
diminishing.

THAILAND JUNTA SEEKS CONTROL REFORMS
-- The Army despite its claim to do otherwise, is seeking to reform control and
put in place former members of the Security Forces (120 Active or retired) as an
interim legislature comprising of 200 people to keep a tight control over a body
it will task with enacting sweeping reforms in the country.

THAILAND'S PRIME MINISTER APPOINTS
FRIENDS TO CABINET -- Despite things falling apart in Thailand such as the
killing of two tourists with no arrests in sight or suspects, the new Prime
Minister has awarded key posts in his Cabinet to friends and trusted allies in
the Military, which critics says prolongs the existence of a country ruled and
in the grip of a Military Power originally quoted as 'temporary'
General Prayuth Chan-ocha announced the appointment of 11 active or retired
senior Military Officials with no political experience whatsoever? Some of
whom will serve as Ministers of Justice, Education, Defence etc.

THAILAND THREATENS LANTERN PEOPLE
WITH DEATH PENALTY -- In a surprising move and unbelievable statement,
Thailand's Justice System say that a person sending paper lanterns skyward for
good luck will face life jail terms or the death penalty. The Police have
been told to arrest offenders caught doing this.

THAILAND AND THE EMPTY VOW -- As
with most politicians or Military Coup leaders, a vow is not a promise nor can
it be kept legally, just mere words that have little or no value. The new
PM who seized power in a Military Coup in 2014, says he doesn't want to abuse
his power and does not want to use force....all at the same time they have
detained dozens of people for distributing leaflets against the coup!

THAILAND'S FORMER PRIME MINISTER TO
STAND TRIAL -- Thailand's new military leaders who took over in a coup, have
stirred up the political situation by announcing that former Prime Minister
Yingluck Shinawatra is to be tried for her role in a rice subsidy programme set
up by her ousted government.

THAILAND MAYOR AND POLICE IN HUMAN
TRAFFICKING SCANDAL -- Despite promises of a fair government Thailand is still
easily swayed into corruption as Thailand's Police Chief announced the arrest of
a Provincial Mayor and the investigation of up to fifty Police Officers.
The powerful Provincial Mayor was not named, but the facts laid as to the
reasons of the arrest. Their involvement in a human trafficking scandal spanning
four Asian countries.

THAILAND'S MILITARY JUNTA PM
THREATENS TO EXECUTE JOURNALISTS -- The military 'Government' are showing their
true colours the more they hold power....moving from their 'relaxed role' to
announcing that they intend to kill journalists who 'report dishonestly' meaning
against them or uncovering corruption of course. He, the man behind the
'threat' PM Prayuth Chanocha who seized power in a military coup in May 2014
openly said they would probably execute journalists who did not report the
truth......his truth of course.....journalists who watched said he delivered it
without a smile....which kills the 'joke' theory that the government wanted
known after realising what they had revealed.

THAILAND'S MILITARY COURT JAILS MAN
WHO MADE COMMENTS.......As in keeping with Military Junta's and a Dictatorship,
a businessman has been jailed for 25 years for 'defaming the Thai Monarchy' for
postings on the Facebook site of which they cite five counts.....the man,
Thiensutham Suthijitseranee was found guilty and was given five 10 year
sentences, which were halved.....Observers in the West say this is alarming
besides being one of the longest sentences ever given out for such an offence?
and shows the intolerance and repression that Asia is now showing.....and that
Human Rights are being eroded in exchange for a kind of slavery to power.

' A place of
quiet evil and bizarre ritualistic laws '

MALAYSIA POLICE
CHIEF IN ASSAULT CASE - Police Chief Abdul Rahim Noor admitted assaulting Mr.
Anwar a former Deputy Prime Minister. It is said the former minister was beaten
up in his cell after his arrest on corruption charges. It is stated in Malaysian
Law and Penal Codes that anyone committing Assault on another person faces a
mandatory caning. However, this did not happen to this Police Chief, what
happened was a cover-up that suspended the press from knowing the outcome. A
blanket of secrecy dropped, and from sources we have discovered that the caning
was removed on the directions of the Minister of Justice. It's a case of one law
for the people and one for the judiciary.

MALAYSIA BAN BOOK
and say anyone distributing it will get 3 years in prison --- The old Censorship
game adopted by their ally and neighbour -- Singapore. The British born author
Peter Mayle who is best known for his book 'A year in Provence' has apparently
annoyed the country's Home Minister over the sex educational book.

MALAYSIA SEEK TO
DECEIVE --- Malaysia, in its bid to seem more tolerant than Singapore, often
ruin their strategy to deceive world opinion by doing an act that conveys the
opposite. This was blatant when they made a law 'Making it illegal for young
people to congregate in one place (no matter how innocent the reason was) in a
way that offends the authorities' Sentences are harsh, such as jail and
whippings, which are often used just like Singapore! They firmly believe that
Public shaming and detention without trial keeps an orderly situation for
society, (based on repression and suppression). Strangely, they get annoyed and
shout out loudly if their regime is shamed......which shows an odd sense of
justice.....it only seems capable of working one way only!!

MALAYSIAN
AIRLINES FINED BY AUSTRALIA --- A Six million dollar fine was imposed on
Malaysia's Airline for 'Price-Fixing' by a court in Sydney, Australia. They
said it was linked to a huge International Cargo Cartel. At the Federal Court
the Airline admitted to having colluded with other airlines on fees and other
charges.

MALAYSIA IN
DISPUTE WITH PHILIPPINES KILLS 14 -- In a coastal village, Lahad Datu, 200
Philippines were claiming ownership of the territory, saying that Malaysia stole
it from the Philippines and that they had documented proof from the late
1800's. The three-week stand-off ended in a bloody conflict....one that the
Philippines President said could have 'triggered an armed conflict in the
region'

SOCIAL INJUSTICE
PLAGUES MALAYSIA -- The World Bank said policies in the Malaysian Government are
causing young people to leave for a better life as they continue to fear the
repressive government and harsh justice that continues to blight the future. One
young University student said ' the harsh sentencing, floggings and repression
of thoughts, movement and speech is not what we want in this technological age,
especially when we see other countries enjoying lives without brutality and
being on the Internet talking to each other without fear of arrest' -- The 2008
Human Rights Violations Annual Report revealed that Malaysia had its own style
of 'Guantanamo Bay' when it was revealed that four lawyers, three of whom were
English trained, were imprisoned indefinitely without trial under The Internal
Security Act -- it went on to reveal that Malaysia's UMNO controlled Government
had been in the covert business of deception by fabricating reports on how well
everything is progressing in the responsive society in relation to economic
growth and social welfare.

MALAYSIAN POLICE
IN BRUTALITY ALLEGATIONS - New reports emerged on a Malaysian Youth in a police
cell being tortured by Malaysian Police who poured hot water over his body,
scolding him to the point of screams. A look at recent 2001 history reveals the
ethnic cleansing of Indian Malaysians suffering grievous body injuries --- 5
were murdered and 100 suffered the painful atrocities at Kampong Medan -- a
further six Indians were shot dead by police in one single day, cause and
circumstances unknown or conveniently hushed up.

MALAYSIA POLICE
ACCUSED IN RAPE INCIDENT --- An Indonesian Law Maker has called on his own
government to sever Diplomatic ties with Malaysia over the rape of an Indonesian
Migrant Female Worker at the Hands of the Malaysian Police. The authorities in
Malaysia have said they are investigating officers connected with the
allegations.

MALAYSIA COURT
SENTENCES MAN TO 115 YEARS --- This has an 'American feel to it' -- a Court
sentenced a man of 42 convicted of four counts of rape and un-natural sex to one
hundred and fifteen years in jail.

'
Elephants, Bollywood and Human Rights Scandals '

INDIA 'THE POLICE
FRAME-UP SCANDAL' -- There is much crime in India, but this case is a travesty
that puts the Judiciary in shame. Armogam Kounder was working in Mumbai, and
was considered by police as an illiterate labourer, and an easy man to frame.
He has now walked free from the jail where he spent 11 years for a crime that
was fabricated and pinned on him by Police Inspector Iqbal Bargir, who committed
suicide and left a note saying ' Kounder had been framed for the crime at the
insistence and order of his superiors ' Inspector Bargir was in charge of a
rape and murder case in 1995, when he and officers from the Oshiwara Police
arrested the 'victim' Kounder. He was beaten up by the police at the lock up
and made to confront a crime he knew nothing about. In order to seal his fate
they took him to the crime scene and showed him the 6 year old girl who had been
raped and murdered. Unbeknown to Kounder, they had snared him as they had him in
the crime area and left his own prints etc at the scene. Although he tried to
prove his innocence, the Judges more or less refused to listen and dismissed
them before sentencing him to a life-term in prison. Prison was also unkind to
him in view of it being a child crime and he suffered hatred and attacks by
fellow prisoners and his jailors. If the bent cop had not committed suicide and
left a conscience note, he would still be in that prison. His Lawyer Asim
Sarode is suing the police and law enforcement for compensation for 'wrongful
confinement'

What about the
'superiors' in the police force that were mentioned? What about the harm
inflicted on him by police and jailors, are they being charged and ordered to
stand trial? What about the original judges who denied him proper respect and
his right to present his alibi ? NOTHING is the answer to all three....they
are all above the law, because they are the law, and they are not about to
compromise each other over a wrongly jailed man!!

JAILED MAN ON REMAND IS POISONED IN
JAIL --- Far from being secure, or safe from inmates, a suspect in a rape case,
Vinny Sharma was rushed to hospital in a critical condition. The same man
has also been beaten up and thrashed by other inmates without any intervention
from guards at the Prison. His lawyer A.P.Singh says this is not the first
case of its kind; earlier, another suspect in the same case was also bullied and
found hanged in the same Delhi Prison in March. The authorities absence
was noted and no comment was offered.

INDIA AND 1600
STUDENTS EXPELLED FOR CHEATING IN EXAMS -- A Report has revealed deviousness and
dishonesty at the heart of the Education system in India. Over 1600
schoolchildren have been expelled after being caught in an unprecedented
crackdown on cheats in the State of Bihar. 100 parents were detained over
helping their children to cheat -- the authorities were forced to admit that the
problem was widespread and that they had set up 'flying Squads' such as police
and vigilant teachers who are helping to clamp down on cheating.

INDIA AND THE ANTI-CORRUPTION PARTY
-- A new party out to eradicate corruption is making a bid to form a government
in Delhi. They are pledging to end corruption in politics..... the small
group have quite a climb in order to make any substantial in-roads to the
country's corruption problems say observers in India.

ANTI-POLICE PROTEST IN INDIA --
Delhi's Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwai who took Office, promised to sweep out
corruption..... and began with the Police first. He has accused them of
targeting the poor for petty offences and refusing to combat serious crime.
He said taking money from rickshaw drivers for minor offences did nothing for
trust among the poor, whereas the drug trade and rich offenders received little
notice....and recent scandals only made it more necessary to begin the clean up
with the police first on the list.

INDIA PREFERS CORRUPTION LEFT ALONE
AS ANTI-CORRUPTION MAN IS THREATENED -- India yet again failed to agree about
rooting out corruption, and the Politician Arvind Kejriwal a prominent
anti-corruption campaigner was targeted for a second time and fears for his life
after another attack. As he was campaigning, he was yet again assaulted.
Reporters say that the campaign as become more toxic, abusive and violent.

INDIA -- MINISTERS CONVICTED IN SCAM
-- Two former ministers of the State of Bihar were convicted by the court of
embezzling millions of dollars during the 1990's. The Scam involved
numerous bogus bills for cattle feed. Opposition Leader Lalu Prasad in the
wake of this case brought by the Central Bureau of Investigation, with 44 others
are likely to be sentenced to three years in prison. The Special Court
remanded Prasad into custody.

INDIA -- POLICE OFFICERS ACCUSED OF
HELPING GANG --- The Indian police have been accused of helping the gang who
raped and killed two teenage girls, two officers have been arrested and charged
for refusing to investigate the disappearance of two girls who were later raped
and found hanging from a tree. Information so far says five men carried
out the crimes in the Northern State of Uttar Pradesh.

HEAD OF INDIA'S POLICE BUREAU IS
ACCUSED OF CORRUPTION -- India's boss of the police ((FBI) unit has been accused
of corruption and malpractice.... Ranjit Sinha is reported to have interfered
with inquiries relating to senior politicians and major corporations. It
is stated that he influenced an inquiry into the auction of 2G Spectrum licences
held by the previous government, as well as the allocation of assets in coal
mining companies.

TWO INDIAN COPS SUSPENDED --- Two
policeman who charged a toddler with 'coercion ahead of a by-election in Uttar
Pradesh have been suspended. The boy was only 11 months old! The
incident sparked outrage and we are told that police in India often draw up
lists of potential trouble-makers and send them to the local authorities.

INDIA'S FORMER PRIME MINISTER
ACCUSED OF CORRUPTION -- Manmohan Singh the former Prime Minister was served
with a summons from the court to appear before them on charges of Conspiracy and
Corruption. It says that this refers to an illegal award of a coal field.
The special court which has powers to bring high profile figures before them
granted under the Central Bureau of Investigations have ordered billionaire
Kumar Mangalam Birla and another official to stand beside 82 year old former PM
Singh.

BANGLADESH ---
SEDITION CHARGES ON INTERNET BLOGGERS AND THREAT TO SILENCE, the ever-growing
threat by Asian Countries to act against people's views and thoughts is a menace
that is stalking the free world that cries out for accountability, truth and to
live without fear. In a news broadcast it has been revealed that a Bangladesh
student Molla Rana was arrested and is to face sedition charges over his blog on
Facebook which referred to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. This claim that it is
conduct likely to cause rebellion is utter nonsense and the Government must have
known this before allowing the police to charge him. They say it can carry a
life in prison sentence....one sees here the same attitude to criticism repeated
by China and Singapore, all very anxious to control their countries (and
outsiders) like dictators. Another student, Ruhul Khandaker, who is studying in
Australia is also to be prosecuted for sedition over comments on the Web, and
the foreign ministry has been asked by the court to have him brought back so
they can jail him! ....not much point in convicting him, that has already been
decided by a law that smacks of injustice. A third student, Nayeem Jubaer was
sentenced in his absence to 6 months in jail for posting remarks on the
Internet......so he will be whisked off to jail without ever having been able to
have a defence........the same rules never applied to the PM several years
earlier?

The above might
seem as if it is a necessary step....but research shows another picture
concerning the PM Sheikh Hasina....in that she herself was arrested in 2007 by
the State Police on charges of extortion. Despite looking every part a martyr
and the 'good guy' of the people, the police were held back and had to drop the
charge but came up with another when the Anti-Corruption Squad pursued her on a
charge of taking bribes. In 2008 she was actually indicted and charged in court,
but events turned strange and inexplicably they were dropped on a technical
point of law by the High Court/Appeal Court saying it was an health issue and
even though two members of her family were arrested too, the whole thing melted
away into the oncoming haze.

BANGLADESH POLICE FIRE GAS AT
PROTESTORS -- Police Squads opened fire on factory workers who were protesting,
using rubber bullets and tear gas on the third day of clashes. The workers
are asking for a minimum monthly wage to be raised...but the factory bosses are
unwilling to increase the minimum wage the report says.

'Singapore friend or foe?' (a Republic and Dictatorship)

CANING WRONGDOERS
AND SINGAPORE GOVERNMENT AND JUDICIARY What they do with the law is their own
matter and many agree with caning for adults, and that cannot be ignored
especially if the Singapore people want it.. To cane a child, even a naughty
child is an abuse in law, and never on the bare because that is an indecent
assault and the Singapore Government recognise that. Whether one agrees or
disagrees with it adult males are caned naked and on bare bottoms and it is not
considered an indecent assault of any kind; and they are given up to 24 strokes,
severely administered. In the West it is termed as state justified violence and
assault, and a perversion of the law by the UK and USA. Being sent to prison and
then being caned in this manner are two punishments, but the Singapore
Government call it a 'deterrent ' and say it prevents crime ( but crime still
goes on, and the same type of crime; drugs and loan sharks, which raises the
question - is the penalty really working?)-- At first glance it looks as if this
country really tackles wrong-doers, especially to Westerners and Europe where we
are losing out on crime with inadequate sentencing, and one can be forgiven for
thinking the caning thing is good, but Amnesty International has lodged
complaints against this country for many years who fly in the face of world
opinion. Around 33 countries in the world -- 6 percent, still use judicial
corporal punishment, and it does have it's support . Singapore boast ' ' A
secure place to live in' and it is secure, but not in the way they want you to
believe. Unfortunately Free speech is suppressed, and many world critics and
lawyers have said ' that Singapore uses criminal defamation laws to silence free
speech and anyone who speaks out against them ' The sad case we came across
was -- that in 2008, a Chinese worker, Han Xin Hui who left China on a cheap
flight ticket looking for work and a new life in Singapore in 2006. He was down
on his luck, he was cheated and lied to while he was in Singapore. One
employment Officer took his cash and passport leaving him with nothing. Then to
make matters worse, he was arrested, jailed for one month and given 4 strokes of
the cane on his bare buttocks for overstaying by the country he thought would
give him a better deal. He said' I NEVER WANT TO VISIT THIS COUNTRY AGAIN ' and
this is a rather sad reflection on the beliefs of a country that could do
better.

Note: Strangely
the act of ABH --Actual Bodily Harm (which the cane would do) and GBH --
Grievous Bodily Harm (the cane being given deliberately severe to scar and
bloody the buttocks) is a crime in most countries in the civilised world --- and
it poses a serious question on how a state can commit such an act in the name of
the law?

THE UN DEFINES
CANING AS TORTURE --- BUT SINGAPORE DISAGREED and claimed it had a deterrent
value?

AUTHOR PROVOKES
THE SINGAPORE GOVERNMENT - Alan Shadrake was promoting his book called 'Once a
Jolly Hangman' -- Singapore Justice in the Dock -- which looked at the career
of hangman Darsham Singh the Chief Executioner of Singapore, who'd done around a
1,000 executions between 1959-2006. The book looked at the legal system around
this as you'd expect from someone publishing a factual book. The author was
arrested in Nov 2010 and put in court charged with ' defamation -- impugning the
impartiality, integrity and independence of the judiciary ' The state
Prosecutor wanted him to serve 12 weeks in prison, but he was sentenced to 6
weeks and fined. The guilty verdict had been decided well before he was in the
dock his followers say, he had however committed 'criminal defamation ' -- The
High Court Judge sentenced him for ' Contempt ' normally made for someone who
does not obey a court order, but the author hadn't had any order against him,
nor appeared in court beforehand. Having looked at the book it is
disappointingly thin on proof and not in the least as ' mind-blowing ' a piece
of journalism one would have expected; others too have re-enforced this view,
and some have challenged his accuracy and cited examples. Many so-called
supporting facts are said to be completely wrong and the most blatant issue
around the author is that he openly provoked the authorities by entering the
country when the consulate advised him not to. Shadrake lives in Malaysia and
the consequences were known to him, but he chose to ignore them, so in actual
fact he deserved what he got. No-one for Shadrake came forward when we tried to
contact them, which seems strange for some-one purporting to stand up for human
rights, perhaps they are not so much into human rights and more into promoting
publicity of a book for profit and gain, as the Singapore Government rightly
inferred... and as we can see from the book, he chooses what to reveal and what
not to... a similar ideal to those who he is attacking.

In addition to
this, we have now discovered that Shadrake like Nair has activated a Google Blog
calling it 'Singapore Exposed' which is a crusade to get police sergeant
Rajkumar, which is a desperate attempt to gain more publicity to show what a
champion of justice he is......another pathetic attempt to bring down Singapore!

Singapore said
that clemency in a hanging case was granted by the Ruler, but in actual fact it
is the Cabinet who decides and informs him -- and most of the Cabinet are
pro-hanging and stand by executions being the solution.

'THE WAR ON
SINGAPORE' INCIDENT --- The Netherlands people demanded that a military force go
to Singapore after the hanging of 'national' Johannes Van Damme, to bring the
country down in 1994. It was never carried through despite the anger and
resentment, two embassy diplomats were dismissed and consideration was given to
'economically' harming Singapore and discussed after certain law and
constitution analysts indicated that 'anything that hit trade and put the
country in chaos on a large scale such as hitting financial institutions,
embargos and sanctions were more likely to persuade and change minds in The
Justice Department and Government --- something allegedly used on other
occasions when foreign nationals were in the spotlight. It was said that Germany
did just that! but ever so secretly and diplomatically calling for people to
refrain from criticising Singapore. Strangely when one considers the 'Five
Powers Defence Pact' the Netherlands could have approached three signatories --
the UK, Australia and NZ and Singapore would have just Malaysia on their
side...so why didn't they? --- The USA would have sat back, as it condemned the
Law style of Singapore and many other countries disliked them too, which led to
diplomatic incidents. Much of this was never explained and the Singapore
Government shouted loudly at world meetings that they had to deal with drug
offences in their own way even if it upset other countries.

THE CANING
COMPENSATION SECRECY -- Five cases of 'over-caning ' were settled in secrecy,
the Government forced the claimants to settle out of court in a ' mediation ' so
the people would not read how much compensation they had to pay. One claimant
who got three more strokes because of a court error was said to have demanded
$3million Singapore dollars, which seems fair, but they denied him this. One man
got 24 strokes extra and sadly we don't know of his claim, it was hushed up. In
a democratic society there is at least one case where the state has been
required to have the settlement judged in a court and the sum of damages
announced, just as in police payouts...Singapore does not allow this to be known
or be discussed in its Press. Not one settlement has been publicised in the
Singapore Newspapers?

NB. It was
revealed by a former caning officer that they receive 50 cents for each stroke
of the cane they give.

SECRECY OVER
CANING -- It has also been acknowledged by the Singapore Prison Service that no
relative is allowed to visit the caned prisoner for 15 days after the
punishment; not even a private family doctor or lawyer?

Singapore's Chief
Justice Chan Sek Keong may say and believe that politics do not enter into
decisions, but he cannot silence critics who have many times seen that this was
the case and can probably show this --- saying that the judiciary is aware of
its responsibilities is not an affirmative answer--- and his phrase ' judges do
justice' is only a line, a piece of rhetoric that fools no-one when you consider
the secrecy over judicial payouts for 'over-caning'....... below is the blatant
contradiction of his statement:

Parliament is now
accused of violating the Separation of Powers -- Politics do enter decisions of
a judicial nature -- This was exposed by Lawyer Mr.Kumar who is challenging The
Long Term Imprisonment Law saying it clearly violates the Separation of Powers
as it involves Parliament telling the courts to impose a mandatory minimum
sentence of five years in jail and three strokes of the cane. The 1998 Law was
needed said Parliament, but went further by classifying drugs such as Ecstasy,
Ermin and Ice -- and the High Court has now to also decide if Parliament
interfered by using these three specified drugs in its determination for court
rulings. Mr Kumar is representing a Drugs Rehabilitation Centre Inmate who faces
the sentence.....9,000 men have already been sentenced by this law since 1998.
He showed that the Judiciary was not acting impartial nor fairly.

IT APPEARS THAT
THERE IS A PACT CALLED 'THE FIVE POWERS DEFENCE ARRANGEMENTS' which Singapore
relies on -- with countries - The United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand,
Malaysia and itself, signed in 1971 to assist this Republic in a time of war or
aggression. It seems rather strange that the Western countries in their belief
that Singapore does not regard Human Rights at all do not pull out of this pact.
The criticism levelled at the country over caning and the death penalty
seemingly does not matter over commercial and financial interests.

SINGAPORE IS ALL
FOR THE DEFENCE PACT BUT WILL NOT SIGN UP TO HUMAN RIGHTS -- Foreigners must not
forget that they must obey the law as Amnesty International can tell you. There
is no Human Rights Charter in Singapore or for that matter, Malaysia, and
neither country wishes to be bound by a Human Rights Charter or contract. Many
attempts have been made to get them to agree to participating, but the Singapore
Government declines and in some cases arrest people who carry out protests on
this topic. Many visitors go to Singapore not knowing that they have left their
comfortable rights and safeguards many miles away...only to find when they
overstep the laws they are arrested, most likely jailed and fined, and in many
cases caned in what Human Rights Judges say is ' a degrading punishment where
one human being employed by the state, inflicts physical violence on another
human being, which is an assault on his dignity and physical integrity' ( 1950
Strasbourg Ruling in Europe). Perhaps it is time for the West to stop
interfering in Singapore's punishment system?

FORMER SINGAPORE
LAWYER ON REVENGE CRUSADE -- One lawyer who now lives in America is definitely
seeking to destroy the leader of the country's government. Similar to Alan
Shadrake he goes about it on flimsy facts and little research, or for that
matter, truthful research. Lawyer Gopalan Nair uses tactics which reflect on his
honesty and he breaches that in true style by issuing two hoax communicates on
the Internet, and admits to doing so. This in itself shows a kind of deceit that
earns him the label of ' bent lawyer ' and quite rightly the Singapore
Government jailed him, as they did Shadrake, for attempting to bring down the
government using flimsy evidence and conjecture. His tirade of articles on
'Singapore dissidents ' is one long revenge tactic on leader Lee Kuan Yew and
his family who have brought prosperity to the country and a rule of law envied
by many other countries. His cause and Crusade he says represents many
dissident followers, and we tried to find some and ended up with not one
favourable result. They were either invented or didn't exist. We contacted him
but he did not offer a reply and we pushed further on a message forum hoping he
could justify his cause, but this was not published. And what of all these
corrupt lawyers he says? he offers none, yet he was in an excellent position to
write all their names down, and know them -- yet gives not the merest supporting
data to even suggest this might be so. It has become obvious that although there
are two sides of a story in order to analyze it he is only interested in his and
winds up Singaporeans every week and month misleading them just as one would
expect from a lawyer. He says in his profile that he studied law in England,
but that's no great shakes as you can see in the 'featured lawyers' on this
site...and he spouts about many lawyers in Singapore being corrupt, so I think
we can come to decision on what he stands for quite quickly.

TWO SINGAPORE
COPS ON BRIBERY CHARGES -- We start this selection with a 'Sunday Star' story of
two police officers, one an inspector who were both arrested for bribery. The
sum was $13,350 dollars disguised to look like loans. They were said to have
come from Triad gang members -- 'protection money'

TEN SINGAPORE
POLICE OFFICERS IN BRIBES TRIAL -- Illegal Gambling Boss Chua Chin Hoe was found
guilty of corruption -- he pleaded guilty to five counts of bribing police. 59
other charges were taken into consideration. Among the ten officers the
following were named as having taken bribes on duty and benefitting from favours
such as 'bar tabs and entertainment' and cash bribes. Police Superintendent
Mark Koh Kian Tiong (In charge of the Secret Societies Branch of the CID), now
on the run as a fugitive from justice. Staff Sergeant Tan Chee Kwong, Staff
Sergeant Chong Soon Ping, Staff Sergeant Lim Kay Heng, and Police Sergeant Teng
Jing King....just five of the police, the others have been kept secret.
Gambling Boss Chua regularly entertained the ten cops over the periods 2008 and
on. The court jailed him for four and a half years and fined him $20,000.
Nothing was mentioned of the trials involving the ten police officers?

SINGAPORE COP
TRIES TO FIT UP SERGEANT AND IS JAILED for getting a friend to fill out a false
report saying Police Sgt Ng Keng Lin had taken cash from immigrants in an

POLICE CORRUPTION
IN SINGAPORE IS REAL, but denied by the Government, as with the above cases, if
a cop can try to fit up another cop, then it must be easier to fit up civilians
and foreign tourists. We were in contact with a former inmate of the Shangi
Prison who confirmed this, and said that other inmates talked of being able to
bribe cops until the price could not be met and they were thrown to the
authorities. We asked him why he could or they could not benefit from pointing
out a bent cop or guard, and he came straight back with ' if you accuse an
officer and cannot substantiate your claim they come down hard on you saying you
are lying and that gets you caned and more jail. ' How can you get the evidence
when you're locked up or the cops have searched your home and made things
disappear?' We were ready to question that until we got hold of the Prison
Rules, and that had an offence -- ' Making false allegations about an officer '
listed as a serious offence, which carries 12 of the cane, and extra prison
time, so we know what our contact said was the truth. (see ten cops taking
bribes)

THE CLOUD OF
MYSTERY AND GOVERNMENT 'FIXING' OVER NARCOTICS CNB POLICE SERGEANT? -- Much has
been raised -- just as it has been suppressed -- concerning Police Sergeant S.
Rajkumar whose evidence succeeded in hanging Vines Mourthi, and this was amid
accusations against him for rape and sodomy prior to him arresting Mourthi in a
drugs bust which had all the hallmarks of a USA Movie about Cops gone Bad!!
His trial was delayed for two years while they safely hanged Mourthi who claimed
his innocence right up to the rope being put around his neck. A Court handed
Sgt Rajkumar fifteen months, and that is from a judiciary that slams crime hard
albeit petty crime or otherwise -- they like making examples of criminals, but
this was not done in the cop's case, in fact there were no charges brought for
rape and sodomy, they simply just disappeared off the radar. Instead, lesser
ones were put in place at the hearing more less like a 'Changeling' -- the real
explanation as yet to be found.

NEW MYSTERY OF
DIPLOMAT AND HOSTILE GOVERNMENT -- Romanian Diplomat Silviu Ionescu claimed he
was the victim of a Singapore State Conspiracy -- as he is charged and tried for
a second time concerning a road accident. He claims that as in the previous
case, the evidence has been doctored. It was a fact that another charge earlier
concerning motoring in a Diplomatic car, he contested a witness statement and
proved he was at a meeting and not at the scene. We contacted Mr Ionescu
through a third party and found that his troubles began when he fell out with
officials in Government at 'privileged meetings' of State. His Lawyer replied
in answer to his client's claim of being framed saying ' This has to do with
secret things that cannot be revealed publicly' Mr Ionescu said he was not at
all surprised they had tried to 'fit him up' again, but would rather they
hadn't.

SINGAPORE CNB -
ERROR? OR ATTEMPT TO MISLEAD? - Three years of annual error, that is what The
Central Narcotics Bureau blame on computers! This led to drug abusers arrest
figures being publicly seen as 'falling' when in fact they weren't. Many
perceived that the numbers were down when used to support the crime figures as
falling during the period of 2008 to 2010 inclusive. Ng Boon Gay the Chief of
the CNB was publicly forced to reveal this error, and alarmingly added the words
' There's no miscarriage of justice as a result of this error' In 2008 they
reported to the Singapore public that there was 1,925 drug abuse arrests, the
real figure was 2,537 a rise of 25 percent in actual terms. In 2009 a Government
statement said there was 1,883 arrests, but the real figure was 2,616, almost 30
percent more, and in 2010 they made claims of 1,805 drug abuse arrests, whereas
the truth was 2,887, around 33 percent, showing a steady rise of drug crimes
year by year. All three figures of the 'the low kind' were presented for three
years showing wide discrepancies that would have led the public to believe in
'the lower crime' rhetoric claimed by The Singapore Government, and no-one would
have challenged that -- the blame on computer error is convenient, but over
three years?

DISCLOSURE BY
SINGAPORE POLICE SUBJECT TO 'Behind closed doors decisions' --- sparked
condemnation in the Ismil Kadar Case when he was convicted of murder, which was
reduced to Robbery with hurt, and then cleared of any offence? --- 'Serious
Lapses' by police -- and Prosecution withholding statement evidence from
Defence? led to Workers Party MP Sylvia Lim raising the matter with Law Minister
K.Shanmugam.... but this isn't all? ---In another case of 'flawed evidence' and
'unsafe verdict' Asman Sanwan was due to be on the scaffold for murder -- was
acquitted after being on death row for two years in 2010...both these cases
feature legal scandals.

PRISON OFFICER IN
MOLEST CASE DOES DEAL -- to save himself from becoming a prisoner! Staff

his offence by paying the un-named victim $10,000 dollars.

PRISON OFFICER JAILED OVER MESSAGE
SMUGGLING -- A Prison Officer became an inmate himself when he was found guilty

was taken into consideration. He was jailed for two weeks.

FORMER PRISON OFFICER PLEADS GUILTY
TO MURDER -- Former Junior Prison Officer Lim Wee Thong faces the death penalty
or life imprisonment with a caning for the murder of his girlfriend, who he

for suitability for caning.

PRISON OFFICER FINED OVER CAUSING
DEATH -- Deputy Superintendent Lim Kwo Yin pleaded guilty to negligence and
having failed to supervise to subordinate warders at the Shangi Jail in
Singapore, when they restrained a prisoner who had been sentenced to reformative
training for rioting and theft. In 2007 he was around 16yrs old when he
was tried and convicted, and was released in January 2010, but was recalled to
prison for failing to comply with his supervision order. The matter of
this 'prison death' has taken 3 years for this officer to be brought to book
(not without delay and interference from the authorities), and the family have
been 'barred' from knowing the exact circumstances......the report says that the
prisoner's mother is considering legal action against the prison. The
man's death was worth ' $10,000' to Singapore, that is the amount of their
humanity!

PRISON OFFICER CASE TAKES NEW
TURNING -- Is it another Shane Todd Whitewash? This seemingly
ordinary case appears to be taking a more sinister twist as the truth collides
with secrecy and a hurry to have this out of the News. The Second Minister
for Home Affairs S Iswaran told Parliament that the State Coroner had
discontinued the inquiry saying death had been established in the Criminal
Court...........yet there has been a 'reluctance' to release this full report of
the Coroner's Inquiry.....and a Report in The Shane Todd Case was held back when
Shane's parents tried to see it.
The death of Prisoner Dinesh Chinnaiah by Warders is being challenged by the
family lawyer who points out that there had been no forensic findings on how,
when and where the deceased met his death.....and the Second Minister said
nothing of the news that the mother of the inmate who died after being
restrained at Changi Prison has launched a court bid to have the Coroner's
inquiry into his death re-opened, (Aug 22/2013).....is this yet another case of
the Government trying to close another disturbing case that puts the Judiciary
in a bad light and reveals more than they want known?

NEWS ON ' Prisoner Death Case'
(above) --- It has now transpired that the 'whitewash' is complete because the
Attorney General's Chambers have stepped in and closed the new inquiry asked
for...they issued a statement saying ' there will not be any further inquiry
into the death of the inmate'

SINGAPORE POLICE
IN PUBLIC ABDUCTION -- Captured on camera and subject on you-tube, the Police in
more than an average number are seen harassing a woman and threatening her. The
officers are asked several times to explain and say from which station they
belong. None do so, as she walks along the path, and as she points out several
times, no other citizen is being challenged or subjected to this intrusive
behaviour. She is manhandled by the police several times, which could be argued
as assault, but the police continue harassing her claiming she is in a
'Protected area' which is rather ambiguous by any official standard, yet other
people are in this so-claimed area, and they are not being challenged. In the
end she and a colleague are bundled off in a police vehicle. She asks why and
where they are being taken to, but no officer in the vehicle seems to know, one
officer tries to seize and block the man's camera from taking pictures of
them...is this natural police activity?

Incidentally, the
above police incident revealed that this was a 'Special Operations' task
force...ordered by who?

SINGAPORE POLICE
HARASS SILENT PROTESTORS -- YouTube showed a 2006 Protest by 4 silent protestors
in Singapore displaying their t-shirts with a message demanding transparency and
accountability in Singapore's State Managed Pension Fund and other Government
linked Agencies. Officers approached the four and circled them several times
until Riot Police arrived in full gear to put pressure on them.

SINGAPORE POLICE ACCUSED OF ASSAULTS
-- 'the Little India Riots'...... news has emerged from Workfair Singapore that
some detainees have been the subject of police assaults taking place where no
cameras are placed..... and strangely, the Public prosecutor has been requested
to investigate the claims, much like the situation of 'police investigating the
police' which is neither satisfactory or reassuring for justice. In
addition to this situation, the authorities have arbitrarily deported 53
'rioters' without trial!

FORMER SINGAPORE COP POCKETS 100
DOLLARS IS JAILED --- A police corporal who worked at the registration
department of the police Cantonment Complex, Desmond Soh Wei Feng (attached to

GOVERNMENT
CORRUPTION IN SINGAPORE -- Real and identified in a leaked document --
Corruption or a Dictator's perks? --- The Home Affairs Ministry said in a
statement 16 detainees had been detained for their subversive activities which
posed a threat to national security, and that they were not detained for their
political beliefs--but this statement and claim was later rebutted by the
government? Yet they went on to say 9 of the detainees were involved in
Communist United Front activities in support of the Party in Malaya, which they
said was committed to the violent overthrow of the Singapore Government and
Malaysia -- and the other seven were involved in a Marxist plot to subvert and
destabilise Singapore, none of which was supported by evidence. Around this
time Seow joined the Singapore Legal Service and rose through the ranks to
become Solicitor General after serving under the administration of then Prime
Minister Lee Kuan Yew, and was appointed senior counsel to a Commission Inquiry.
He was later suspended from practising Law for 12 months by Chief Justice Wee
Chong Jin for a breach of an undertaking given on behalf of his junior law
partner to the Attorney-General at that time. He was later elected a member of
the Council of The Law Society and went on to become President. This eventually
led to him falling out with Lee Kuan Yew after a bitter row over the politics
and role of The Law Society. He was in favour of the restoration of the role of
the law society to, inter alia, comment on legislation that the government was
churning out without any meaningful parliamentary debate, a role which Prime
Minister Lee Kuan Yew took especial dislike and exception to. Lee in retaliation
drew up special legislation depriving the law society of any powers to comment
on any legislation unless allowed to or sought by the government. Seow later
ran for Parliament but lost marginally. Macabre events followed when he was
suddenly detained without trial and accused of having received funds from the
USA and advice for the purpose of promoting democracy in Singapore. According to
his released diary he had been subjected to torture, sleep deprivation and other
acts of inhumanity in prison and accused of being an American stooge. Whilst
waiting trial for yet another charge by Lee of tax evasion, he left the country
and was convicted in his absence. All these events are said to have been
politically motivated and part of a pattern of lawsuits and criminal proceedings
against dissenters in Singapore.

The then former
head of MI5 in the UK acknowledged that without proper balanced legislation, the
intelligence and security agency becomes a repressive organ of the state at
best, and this was where Singapore was heading if the Law Chiefs were not being
involved in passing or debating laws of the country.

In 1996 Lee Kuan
Yew and his son Deputy Prime Minister admitted to receiving discounts on
purchases of luxury apartments whilst in office, incidentally supplied by Hotel
Property Ltd -- one director being Lee Kuan Yew's younger brother? with the
support of Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong. But no one was accused of corruption as
they might have been elsewhere in the world. PAP politicians were paid salaries
that superseded their counterparts in the USA or Japan? Parliament is made up
of 2 opposition members to a ruling 84 government members? Yew controls the
Press, and opposition to his rule is dealt with by fair means or foul, mostly
the latter. Even today, the Judiciary is controlled by him and this is seen all
too clearly in high profile incidents.

WHO IS THE REAL
LEE KUAN YEW? and what does he stand for? Conflicting and contradictory is
certainly one of the answers...and this is yet again revealed by something that
happened in 1986. ' Lee Kuan Yew and the Special Branch Officer' --- A Mr.Yong?
who claims there was gross dishonesty practised by Lee, not once but twice. The
Special Branch man apparently worked as an undercover agent for The CIA..all
with Lee's knowledge in 1961 where the story actually began. There was a
disagreement about PAP policy that was seen to be oppressive, especially as they
would dock civil servant's pay if they didn't cooperate. The second fallout and
mistruth is somewhat more serious. This happened at The Select Committee hearing
of the Legal Profession (Amendment) Bill on the 9th October 1986 -- and that
this officer officer had been asked to quit as Director of The CPIB in
connection with the investigations of four detectives by the CPIB following an
Official Complaint by the then Solicitor General, Mr.Francis Seow. The Officer
was accused of helping out his friend Mr.Francis Seow, and having the four
detectives dismissed. He said the accusation was a figment of MM Lee's
imagination, and that he was able to prove that he had been appointed Director
of the ISD following his time spent in the CPIB -- The Corrupt Practices
Investigation Bureau -- he says these are glaring examples of the recklessness
of MM Lee Kuan Yew who had little regard for the truth!!

Confusing? yes,
but there's no smoke without fire, and somewhere in there lies a truth possibly
more shocking if it were known. The central players here, The PAP, Lee Kuan Yew,
CPIB, and ISD (Internal Security Department) and CIA make for a very toxic
combination. Mr.Yong, being with the ISD does not bode well either as you will
see in the article ' The Evils of Singapore ISD' ...and the above article could
well be ' a fallout and tiff finally revealed'

SINGAPORE AND
BRITAIN COLLUDE TO DESTROY OPPOSITION --- In 1963, Britain conspired and
collaborated with the PAP and Lee to crush the opposition. These 'secret'
documents were revealed by Poo Soo Kai who uncovered de-classified British
Archive documents relating to 'Operation Coldstore' in which the British were to
assist the PAP crush the opposition before the 1963 General Elections. Many of
the Opposition were arrested under the ISA and held in detention without trial,
many were tortured, and Lee approved it, once saying that 'the biggest
punishment a man can receive is total isolation in a dungeon, black and complete
withdrawal of stimuli, that is real torture' this is real detention for all
prisoners without exception.........Britain backed Lee Kuan Yew.

SINGAPORE COLLUDES WITH MALAYSIA TO
HELP DESTROY BRITISH 'ATROCITY' SECRETS -- The Singapore Government waved
through several lorries through its border checkpoint in the knowledge they were
carrying British Government 'secrets' that must be destroyed and incinerated at
the Singapore Naval Base. The secret material had it been seen would look
bad for Britain -- it travelled down from the British High Commission in
Malaysia.

THE SINGAPORE
MYSTERY MONEY -- The question 'ask Mr Goh Chock Tong about the missing
S$17million dollars of taxpayers money' seems to have angered the Singapore
Government into libel claims etc, according to an American Observer USA student
Bryan Murphy --- And by all accounts they have never answered this.

In 1995, Deputy
Chief Mr Choy Hon Tim was jailed for 14 years for taking 14 million Singapore
dollars in bribes for giving out privileged information --- he was a chief
executive of the National Water agency.

SINGAPORE SLIDES
UP TO FIVE IN CORRUPTION STATE CHART after being a relative No 1 least
corruption country, meaning that it has lost it's claim to being at the bottom
of the league which is measured in opposite ends. However, it is Singapore
claiming it and publishing it through its Government owned paper The Straits
Times which it controls, so it's claim to be more cleaner can be treated with a
pinch of salt, as this is more likely a government publicity piece of
propaganda. It says it has been polled by the Transparency International? saying
Government corruption is getting less, and there is no real proof of this, and
this press piece does not alter that.

JOURNALIST SAYS
REDUCED CORRUPTION CLAIM BY SINGAPORE IS A JOKE --- Thai Correspondent, John
Symons says that the rating by the Transparency International Group is
absolutely farcical and could never be calculated when no free press
exists...the state is holding all the cards and can make up anything it likes.
He says Whistleblowers are not protected as they are in democratic countries,
and they could face imprisonment.

A case in point
supplied by a contact points at the matter of Singapore Technology being
blacklisted by India in a Corruption Probe to Sin City? (we have no details as
yet of that but will persevere and investigate it)

SINGAPORE
CORRUPTION only Hidden, not resolved despite claims by Minister --- Harchand
Singh, a former Branch Union Official with Semco (co-owned by the Government)
says that corruption was routine government business engaged in by the PAP - The
Peoples Action Party. He says he saw this over and over again until he made the
mistake of upsetting one man -- Chua Eng Boon who received promotion. Singh says
that Corporate life has long been corrupt but few people ever dare to speak out,
and those that do are in big trouble. He tells us of how he was a union man from
1987 to 1998 and during that time he saw many 'kickbacks' usually ten per cent
of the contract agreed. Singh, who is a Singaporean, says his days were numbered
when he had an exchange with Boon who threatened him. In retaliation and in the
heat of the exchange, Singh said he would expose the corruption and had the
documents,...and then came the attempts to frame him, so Singh quickly removed
himself and the evidence, which we hope to look at as we contacted him and are
waiting to discover more.

SINGAPORE PAP --
THE SINISTER TOOL OF SUPPRESSION --- Silencing the opposition or free-willed
seems to be regular sport for the Singapore Government in its misuse of the law
for its own purposes and not that of the general people. Defamation has been on
a tortuous route through the judiciary and is being used like a gun or knife to
wound all dissenters alike. An article recently found says that Joshua B.
Jeyoretnam who was with the Workers Party was repeatedly sued by the Government
and Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong who it says sues individuals and others. A
rebuttal issued by Singapore's Press Secretary to the Minister for Information,
Communications to the Arts -- Peer M.Akbur in the Wall St Journal defending
defamation actions sets about trashing the facts regarding date of the original
article and spouts about the honour of protecting free speech by using
defamation cases to support it which is nonsense. The Press Secretary makes no
comment on the many times it was used --- as it was in the Shadrake Case and The
TRE-meritus actions. No mention is made of having to apply for permission to
speak in public or the fact that police are sent to covertly listen in at
meetings with a view to arresting or bringing defamation suits against anyone
who seriously contradicts the PAP. There is one decision only in the court,
that of the Judge in sole authority (there are no juries at all in any court)
and the Government have that sown up...so the conclusion is obvious. Alarmingly,
Joshua was accused of saying words in an article in Tamil? a language he neither
understood or could write!! so one has to question whether this really
constitutes 'evidence' and legal proof he did it, and that would not stand up in
a International Court, the prosecution would have to show reasonable cause to
suspect or educational evidence to support the theory he was able to understand
it and write in Tamil.. Peer M.Akbur says the article at the time was found to
be defamatory? and damages awarded with an apology....but this refers to the
article he did not write which may have been so proved....but it appears the
prosecution in Singapore has to prove very little if nothing but the mere
suggestion the defendant is guilty! This article is in support of his son
Kenneth Jeyaretnam of the Reform Party who wants to see true democracy for
Singaporeans.

THE P.A.P. was
formed in 1954 by an Englishman! later to be headed by Lim Chin Siong, Lee Kuan
Yew and Fong Swee Suan -- to bring about independence for the small Island
State. Britain declined this at the London Constitutional talks, but by 1959 it
was achieved but at a cost - Lim attacked Communist ideals; the Singaporean
Chinese which did him harm in the long run. What followed were allegations of
civil rights violations and people being detained without trial. Lee Kuan Yew
won the day and many critics said the PAP had rejected Western Liberal Policies
in favour of something more authoritarian. But Independence had been granted and
that was it.

P.A.P --'Not so
popular now, it lost ground and face when it only got 67 per cent of the vote in
2006 -- Reuben Wong said the electorate were obviously responding to a lot of
public unhappiness!!

SINGAPORE
POLITICS ENTER 'DIRTY TRICKS PHASE' -- Hougang residents accused the PAP of
penalising voters because they decided to vote for the opposition. Allegations
of dishonesty were levelled against the Workers Party over the candidacy of Mr
Png Eng Huat, who said it was an attempt to discredit them.

P.A.P. ATTACKS ON
CANDIDATE designed to destroy his credibility --- Recent history reveals the
case of James Gomez and the ' dirty tricks to smear his reputation' actively
carried out by PAP --- aided by Lee Kuan Yew and Wang Kan Seng, The incident
revolved around an election form that PAP made an issue out of firing up the PM
Lee Kuan Yew to call Gomez 'a liar' -- going onto publicly to say that James
Gomez had 'perpetrated a dirty trick' when no such evidence proved it so. But
being Prime Minister, Lee didn't have to prove that, challenges against Lee
always fail. His Deputy Prime Minister Wang said Gomez 'showed blatant
dishonesty' -- again without proof, and would never have to do so. The 'acid
criticism' by PAP during the election continued and gathered strength, saying
that Gomez did not submit the required form, a form he didn't need to submit. He
did claim to submit a registration form, but PAP said he hadn't. The Government
STRAITS TIMES joined in under the agreeable eye of the PM and ran more than a
dozen stories to harass Gomez. It only stopped when PAP Officials began to
realise it was provoking a backlash that looked set to turn on them. The
Singapore Government however, continued to harass Gomez and had his passport
seized when he tried to return to his job in Sweden. To make their point they
had police question him for eight hours according to sources, but the Government
refused to confirm this.

P.A.P MISDEEDS -
Internet Singapore Activist says a long list of misdeeds by the PAP were given
to Minister Heng Swee Kiat.....but nothing came of it. At a meeting, National
Conversation, it was found that it excluded opposition members or
bloggers....and appeared well supported by PAP Supporters. They claimed the
meeting was 'inclusive' President Tony Tan claimed his best achievement in
one year was going to watch the Olympics in London!

PAP AND THE TOWN
COMPUTERS? -- Why did the PAP relinquish ownership of the computer and financial
system and how much did they sell it to AIM for? these questioned are now to be
raised in a long awaited investigation that a Minister has called for. The
background of this is somewhat puzzling. It is assumed that the system was
probably developed with taxpayers money by the 14 councils, with mutual input
and support from tax payer-paid town council staff, unless, and it's hard to
believe -- the PAP paid for the development of the system.

PAP often make
demands on other countries to observe human rights, but their past records are
dismal.

It is also said
by opponents, that the PAP control the elections.......and they may well have a
case!

SINGAPORE'S
SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE RESIGNS IN DISGRACE -- Speaker in the Government House,
Michael Palmer made it known at PAP Headquarters that he was resigning his post
in Government due to being discovered having a 'extra-marital' affair, and he
took full responsibility for the grave mistake. The Government and MP's were
shocked it is said by the news and sudden resignation.

SINGAPORE FORMER
MP CHARGED WITH CORRUPTION -- Choo Wee Khiang a former MP was accused in court
of a Criminal Breach of Trust -- he is accused of taking part in a conspiracy to
secure payment for a trainer who was secretly engaged in another job while
taking money for the one he was contracted to (moonlighting)... Three other
charges of Corruption have been deferred for a later court date.

Money-laundering
convictions in Singapore by Industry and Financial institutions were two a year
in 2008 and have risen. Singapore's bank secrecy laws have attracted evaders
and money laundering in recent times. An audacious banking scam by Jeanette Ang
engaged in fraudulent bank transfers to Singapore from the US led to her being
jailed for 9 months, and on another note, Peter Madhaven - first independent
director of a financial Institution was jailed for breaking Singapore Securities
Laws. Three Singapore companies involved in an elaborate 'kickback scheme -
bribery' to do with Apple are under investigation, but the country's
Anti-Corruption Bureau are not saying they have opened such an investigation and
are remaining secretive about the matter.

SINGAPORE, THE DIPLOMAT, AND
UNAUTHORISED GOLD? -- A tale of one North Korean Diplomat who was able to, with
no indifference from Singapore, travel with $1.4 million in gold to Bangladesh.
It is without doubt that 'rich' Singapore know of the sanctions against North
Korea, especially as the International Finance System had barred North Korea
from money dealing in the International money markets. Yet, this Diplomat
Son Young Nam - first secretary of the North Korean Embassy in Dhaka was able to
board a plane in Singapore carrying this gold and take it to Bangladesh....in
order to sell it for hard currency (as it is suggested).
The Government of Singapore considers itself tough on crime and claims to have a
rigorous customs system, catching people, jailing and flogging them etc, yet a
diplomat from North Korea slips through unchallenged? But on the other
hand, Singapore is known for its love of wealth among the rich and in
government, and they do business with people like Mugabe.......?

THE
ANTI-CORRUPTION COMMITTEE in their quest to root out corruption have got so
zealous that it has turned on them, and they are finding themselves under
allegations of corruption, which is bringing a sharp focus on ' who 'polices the
police? and who 'polices the corruption investigators? This kind of thing is not
new, many bodies in government that set up these departments finally have the
finger of corruption pointed at them. Anyone who investigates corruption needs
to be free to go after colleagues or higher ranking officials, and one can see
that in Singapore this is not done without trouble and undue influence to
suppress such investigation which in turn will ultimately involve corruption --
corruption that will inevitably be denied, but we've heard that before many
times. Their Standards Committee will have to be changed if it is to be believed
to be honest.

MYSTERY OF THE FUND MISAPPROPRIATION
-- As Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong's lawyers refuted Mr Roy Ngemg's claim that
his blog post about government transparency and accountibility, not about the
unlawful misappropriation of Central Provident Fund savings......unwittingly
shines more on the latter and where has these missing funds gone?

BODYGUARD TO SINGAPORE PM IN FRAUD
CASE -- A former Aide to PM LEE KUAN YEW was accused of a criminal breach
of trust and fraud amounting to $50,000 by an Ex-Cop who claims in a police
report that he was misled into putting the money into an 'investment vehicle'.
One is also led to believe that the bodyguard to the PM -- Mr Anathan Thillagan
was a policeman considering that the Ex-Cop Mr Sugendran referred to him as a
fellow officer in his statement. (Nov 26/2014).

THE EVILS OF
SINGAPORE ISD -- Internal Security Department --- Detention without trial ---
torture denied? all done in prison and overseen by the ISD. We look to the work
of Singaporean, Chee Siok Chin who wrote a small investigatory book called 'That
we may dream again' in 2009. He set out to discover the tactics and behaviour of
this Singapore Unit the ISD and interviewed detainees in 1987 who were bullied
and persecuted by their own government. Mr.Lee Hsien Loong was the Deputy PM at
that time, and publicly stated ' The Government does not ill-treat detainees; it
does however, apply psychological pressure to detainees to get at the truth?' --
but this appears to be 'rather economical with the truth' as we reiterate the
story of one detainee, Vincent Cheng who said he had great anger for the
injustice of the whole incident, and that the perpetrators have not been brought
to account for their deeds. 'Operation Spectrum' was said to be 'Political
Rape' by those who opposed oppression, and Cheng was arrested in that sting. he
said 'I cannot forget or forgive them. The harsh treatment meted out to me in
prison to extract information was inhuman -- I was put in a freezing room,
slapped and suffered beatings, including a savage blow to his abdomen. Another
detainee, Kevin De Souza told about the many strip searches, blindfolds being
put on, sleep deprivation, slaps to the face, unnatural treatment invented to
humiliate and cause pain, televised interviews, solitary confinement and long
term incarceration without trial. Another detainee, Ms. Tang Lay Lee confirmed
the torture meted out to detainees.

Detainee Dr Lim
Hock Siew was in prison for 19 years --- detainee Chia Thye Poh was in prison
for 32 years!!............THE HISTORY OF SINGAPORE THAT DISGUSTS.......Dr Lim
Hock Siew Opposition Member was in jail for almost twenty years, seven more than
a life sentence! He was detained under the powers of the ISA and arrested by
police and thrown into jail without a trial...1963 to 1982. Lee Kuan Yew was in
power, and like the actions of a dictator he would not tolerate any kind of
challenge to his authority. The Authorities demanded that Siew sign a statement
saying he had repented, but he refused and was detained for a further 10 years.
At the time of the demand he was told that Lee does not like to lose face.
The1963 General Election was rigged by The British and PAP. Because he wouldn't
co-operate, Siew was ordered to appear before the Advisory Board, chaired by
High Court Judge Winslow and a lawyer called Elias, and he was brought into
court wearing handcuffs. The Charge sheet was blank, and he was told to plead
guilty...he refused saying this hearing was a disgrace to the concept of Law and
Justice. The Lawyer said he could be charged with contempt and jailed! but he
was already in jail. Siew was not a convict, his crime was to disagree with the
ruling party, and he was labelled a dissident. But this did not stop them from
sending him to nearly every prison on Singapore. In 1973 they tried to force
him into 'manual labour' meant for convicts who did awful crimes, he refused.
They then sent him to one of the worst detention places, The Central Police
Station which was infested with bugs and had hardly any light. He was put into
Solitary Confinement and subjected to torture, both physical and mental. He had
no right to a lawyer, they kept telling him 'this is the law' no matter what he
requested. His case or lack of it, never appeared in the newspapers, they had
suppressed the incident on the orders of the Government. In a video of him
speaking to an audience on the Internet he says that 'Politicians in Singapore
enjoy the highest pay in the World, and the longest prison sentences in the
World are meted out to those who challenge their views or system'...........

..interestingly
today, anyone caught in Singapore copying or distributing this BANNED video is
threatened with a fine of S$10,000 or two years in jail. to see that video and
see more of what is going on in Singapore that they don't like you to know, go
to
www.singaporerebel/blogspot.co.uk
and got to right of page to scroll down to the article EX-Political Prisoner
Speaks Out......the video....and watch in amazement at what the Singapore
Government was prepared to do to those it did not like. any difficulties search
for Singapore Rebel...and it will get you to the Wikipedia page.

'HUMAN RIGHTS' A
SORE ISSUE WITH SINGAPORE GOVERNMENT -- Intervention by the Singapore Government
has caused the cancellation of the 'opening' of the 'Handa Centre for Global
Governance and Human Rights' at the Law School of Singapore Management
University - a report says, and the issue is over 'Human Rights' in the title.
Our source says that members of the Government have taken a dislike to this
being paraded publicly.

THE SECRECY OVER
THE CANING ERROR certainly indicates a huge flaw in the honesty of the Judiciary
and Government. Making it a condition that no-one knows what was paid out in
compensation to 21 yr old Dickson Tan (who got 3 strokes more because of a court
error) gives rise to asking how many other secret deals are done in other areas,
and those in turn being kept from the public they serve, which is in fact
corruption. If there is no openness, accountability or transparency in
Government payouts of this insignificant nature, how can they be trusted with
the nation's taxpayers cash? they might be doing deals with rogue businessmen
and bent lawyers of which one Singapore ex-lawyer said there were many, and
possibly judges, the list could be huge and no-one would be the wiser with a
government that does deals behind closed doors and demands they are kept
secret!!

'SPANKING IN
SINGAPORE' -- Indeed, and rather unbelievable in some ways, or does the judicial
caning ethos encourage a public liking for it? We came across a site called
TOPIX a Singapore Forum where people discuss and get rather high on corporal
punishment in Singapore. We've covered the Spanking and Caning Vice in Europe,
the UK and America, but didn't expect to find it in Asia and especially not in a
punishment regime of Singapore or one the Singapore Authorities condone, but I
guess it happens everywhere on this globe - Earth.

We have uncovered
more on this at 'YouTube' which has several spanking and caning video clips
featuring Singapore youth, Malaysia youth, Chinese youth and Asians embracing
corporal punishment --- so what does that tell us?? ( emerging news in on an
online vice ring in Singapore involving around 80 males)

SINGAPORE
GOVERNMENT CANING CULTURE CORRUPTS YOUTH --- A vice previously blamed on the
West who banned corporal punishment in prisons and school by 1986, is
flourishing and enticing Singapore men and boys to try it for themselves without
going to prison or committing an offence! Our Investigator visited the site
Facebook and quickly found many guys swapping photos of caning and spanking --
many being from Singapore, Malaysia and China. Besides other fetish devotees
they chat about it and link each other to the You Tube videos which in the main
come from Asia. Our Investigator with difficulty chatted online to one 21yr old
Singapore lad who said he got the interest after his school group visited the
prison and were conducted to the caning area and were shown canes used and where
males bend over for punishment. He added that quite a few school pals were
secretly eager to bend over the frame and try it -- but they didn't want to be
in court first or sentenced. He also said the cane was at his school for boys up
to 19, and after his visit when he was 14, he sometimes looked and held the
schoolmaster's cane and fooled about with mates and then rushed back to his desk
as the master returned. The only thing he said was a put off, was blood-letting
as experienced by the actual prisoners who suffered shock and trauma while cuts
were 'bleeding profusely' during their caning........February 2012.

TWO SENTENCES FOR ONE CRIME IN
SINGAPORE? --- Years ago, the Singapore Government claimed that caning was not
part of the sentence when ordering a caning along with prison...and claimed it
was a kind of deterrent for assault crimes so that the offender might feel the
pain they had caused.....But now in 2015 due to an appeal hearing the Government
and Judiciary have openly declared that 'CANING IS CONSTITUTIONAL' and may be
given to a prisoner convicted of an offence, thus proving that there are two
sentences on one crime, a thing they have denied for a long time. They
defend this action as not breaching Human Rights and International Law and deny
that it is torture! when administered to a secured prisoner on a frame....they
also say it doesn't come under International Law.....and that Singapore has the
right to flog prisoners in a manner they deem fit besides jailing them for years
on the same offence.....logical? definitely not....but Singapore is still a
'veiled' dictatorship.

WEBSITE MOUSE TR
Emeritus some sort of socio-political site has grovelled before its PM who
threatened to sue them for defamation, and as we already know, Singapore is good
at that. Unbelievably they claim the status of being a people's voice and
despite calls from its supporters has already printed a rebuttal of the piece
claiming no responsibility for others views and content plus condemnation for
anyone that issues statements that criticize. Richard Wan needs to watch out for
moving carpets and the fences he cannot sit on. This site hardly ranks as a
bastion of freedom and should be exposed for the fraud that it is. They claimed
apologising over every defamative remark would cause difficulties in running the
website -- but gave way again reducing them down to being another government
stooge and puppy to be trained and kept in line. Can't they see that they have
been nicely pushed and positioned into the subservient situation their readers
are annoyed about!!

SINGAPORE INTRODUCES CENSORSHIP ON
NEWS WEBSITES -- The Government in its manic desire to silence criticism is
introducing licences on news websites, so as to tighten its grip on what can and
cannot be said or broadcast. Any news website having 50,000 hits a month
will have to obtain a licence to operate, they will also have to remove content
not approved within 24 hours....or suffer penalties.

STUDENT MADE TO
APOLOGISE FOR WEB BLOG REMARKS --- Even though student Reuben Wang 17, was not
repentant even 24 hours later, this changed after ' The School counselled him'
Many students on the Netizen supported his claims but thought his choice of
words wrong, and fellow student Kwan Jin Yao said the criticisms were valid but
were obscured by the liberal use of expletives and profanity. The ranting was
the result of being in a student meeting when Deputy P.M. Teo Chee Hean was
attending. Reuben said he was angry at the way the Deputy Prime Minister was
dodging difficult questions by turning the questions back onto the students.

MORE CENSORSHIP, SUPPRESSION ON WEB
CARTOONIST -- The Singapore Judiciary in the face of The Attorney General's
Chambers have threatened web cartoonist Chew Peng Ee (Leslie Chew) with jail and
'forced' him to apologise over publishing a cartoon strip considered by the
government to be 'scandalizing the judiciary of the Republic of Singapore'
they say he has committed contempt in four cartoons he put on the web in 2011
and 2012, three of them about the perceived unfairness of the courts when
imposing punishment (he's right on that as our many articles testify
to)...observers say it is yet another sign that Singapore is becoming more
increasingly intolerant of criticisms and opponents to it's style of
dictatorship government.

'RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH AND EXPRESSION
IS NOT AN ABSOLUTE RIGHT SAYS SINGAPORE -- The Singapore Authorities revealed
their true face yet again in the defamation and contempt case against blogger
Alex Au who is challenging the Constitution. The Attorney General's
Chambers have been given permission by the Island Republic Leaders to take legal
action against the blogger over an article they say is offensive in which he
states their is wrongdoing by senior Judicial Officials!

THE PM Lee Hsien
Loong gets a salary of 3.8 million Singapore Dollars!! one of the highest paid
salaries known.

Whilst on the
subject of websites --- We have picked up on the fact that the hackers Anonymous
have shown that Singapore are backing the ACTA Bill -- a bill and legislation to
curb Internet freedom by internationally imposing sanctions on ISP's and casual
web surfers.... would you believe it, Singapore wanting to curb freedom!!

DOUBLE STANDARDS
AT SINGAPORE PRISON AND PUBLIC LIE --- The Shangi Prison Service boasted in its
'Public Lie' the following in one of it's public statements --- that in jailing
offenders they are ' fulfilling the multiple goals of punishment,
incapacitation, deterrence and most difficult of all -- that of rehabilitation
-- reformation and reintegration into society? Yet we find that a man who
committed a criminal breach of trust involving less than ten thousand dollars
and went to prison 25 years ago (1986) -- discovered that the Council for Estate
Agents (Watchdog) queried his criminal record just when he thought he'd left
that all behind in order to get on in life as a good citizen. The authorities
claim officially to help and rehabilitate offenders to have a normal life when
prison ends, which is called The Yellow Ribbon Project -- yet they allow a man
who has paid his penalty to be hindered and subject to humiliation 25 years
later, what happened to ' the second chance?' The Singapore Government talks
about honesty and openness, but don't deliver.

ADVERT BY
SINGAPORE GOVERNMENT FOUND TO BE OFFENSIVE -- This sort of ties in with the
above and really clarifies this admirably. The Singapore Ministry of Community
Development have been attacked by caring Singaporeans for putting out an advert
that 'perpetrates prejudice and discrimination of ex-offenders (prison), victims
of abuse and people on low incomes'. It is stated four posters published in the
media put these people down as not worth caring about, and should turn their
back on to be excellent citizens.

THE SINGAPORE ISD
and ISA -- 'Detention without Trial ' - The Evil not talked about --- The
Republic of Singapore as it is better known from the the 60' and 70's, a time
when Singapore and torture was challenged and exposed by Amnesty International.
A story involving British participation and the leader Lee Kuan Yew and PAP....a
story that reveals real evil, that to this day has not gone away. The ISD -
Internal Security Department of Singapore was run from a very unassuming little
address in Whitley Road, The Heritage Centre, where one finds the Detention
cells and brutal regime staffed by Ghurkha Mercenaries who did the dirty work of
using torture to extract manufactured confessions. They enjoyed no interference
from normal laws, the powers they had were extreme, and they could order the
police to carry out their commands without question. People, or suspect victims
were snatched in 4 am and late-at-night raids so that it avoided public query or
interest. They were taken to the ISD and placed in cells to be held for 30 days
and interrogated remorselessly with torture (teams were on a shift basis), and
only allowed 30 minutes a day to wash or use the toilet. The ISA law was
written up by British Lawyer Hugh Hickling in 1960 outlining detention without
trial, methods of interrogation and the rule 74 where the suspect could be
detained indefinitely and have no access to a lawyer or see relatives... a law
so oppressive and monstrous, which proved ideal for Lee Kuan Yew (1959) in
silencing the opposition -- he loved the idea of keeping a prisoner in a black
cell, without light or anything....that was real torture! he said. Prisoners
were kept in a cell 5ft by 7ft with no windows and the lowest watt of lighting
possible....talking and singing was absolutely forbidden....penalties were
harsh, such as two victims received -- a broken jaw and their teeth smashed
(Pang Hee Fat and Chien Tuan Sin). After 30 days they were transferred to
prison still without a trial and kept there 'unless they confessed'
The Government would only release them if they signed and admitted their
wrongdoing, so that they could tell the public and World that the accusations
were true! Many prisoners received electric shock treatment at the hands of
the ISD.........The Internal Security Act and Banishment Act derived from
British Colonial Legislation was used many times to silence critics, dissenters,
protestors and opposition groups.....these people had no recourse to legal
safeguards nor any opportunity to challenge their accusers and
allegations.....they were simply grabbed and disappeared off the streets and
their homes. The Newspapers couldn't cover the incidents, they were forbidden,
and Government controlled.

Lee Kuan Yew
became Prime Minister in 1959.....and this all happened on his say
watch......and he ruled for many years, even in 2008 he invented the position of
Minister mentor to his son Lee Hsien Loong who took over and gets a salary of
around $2.6million dollars which is not far short of the $3.870 for the PM
position. The President monthly pay was $119.520......and the PM monthly pay
was $115.950.

INFO on ISD
detentions are in the main kept secret and little or no publicity is given to
this on their Website, and omits any reference to anything to do with the 1963
to 1980 situation, and researchers say that the police were used as a tool to
crush dissenters under the 'Authoritarian Regime'............. which still
exists now.

SINGAPORE LAWYER
JAILED FOR 9 YEARS - Tan Cheng Yew stole 4.8 million Singapore Dollars from
clients. He was found guilty of deception and accused of perpetrating a series
of scams, and travelled on a false passport to resist capture and extradition.
Yew had been on the run for 6 years -- the Prosecutor said the lawyer remained
unremorseful.

Jail term
increased for Lawyer Tan Cheng Yew -- prosecutors increased his sentence to 12
years and dismissed his appeal saying the former sentence was 'inappropriate for
the crime he committed' (Nov 30th 2012)

FORMER SINGAPORE
LAWYER JAILED AND DISBARRED - Gopalan Nair fled to the U.S. after being jailed
by the authorities for flouting the ethics of the Law Society and being found
guilty of defaming the judiciary.

SINGAPORE LAWYER
STEALS S$68,000 -- David Khong was convicted of stealing from a property
transaction.

SINGAPORE LAWYERS
charged with misconduct -- Ang Chin Peng and Martin Decruz Lawyers of 18 yrs
experience are to face a tribunal for overcharging clients -- they will face

fined $15,000 after being found guilty of placing $5,000 from his client into
the office account, which constitutes a breach of the solicitors' rules. The

suspended? but they decided dishonesty was not proven!

SINGAPORE STRUCK
OFF LAWYER FINED $4,000 -- Low Yong Sen was suspended in 2008 for overcharging
clients and in 2010 he was struck off the rolls. But he appeared again in court

SINGAPORE LAWYER
IN UNDER-AGE SEX SCANDAL CASE -- Lawyer Gwee Hak Theng, a former Deputy Public
Prosecutor, found himself appearing from the dock in court charged with paying

SINGAPORE LAWYER
TOOK $400,000 FROM CLIENT ACCOUNT -- Lawyer Tan Tiong Hian. alias Raymond Tan
was not charged with theft from the client when it was reported that he appeared
in court, no, the 17 years experienced lawman was said to have committed four
counts of misconduct! He was found guilty of breaching the rules and was
disbarred. -- following that report it now states that he was back in court and
charged with 31 counts of ' criminal breach of trust' and was accused of
misappropriating $1.4million dollars from his clients in 2009/2010, and there
was an additional charge of forgery!....'all very strange....and legally
disturbing'

client who gave him the gift that it had to be done after advice from an
independent legal source.

Lawyer James Wan
was struck off the Rolls......the court found that he dishonestly misled the
client.

SIX LAWYERS
DISBARRED OVER MONEY OFFENCES --- The Singapore Supreme Court said that six
lawyers were struck o0ff for over-charging and pocketing client money. One was
runaway lawyer Zulkiffi Mohd Amin who took 10.6 million dollars from his firm
over a period of 11 months -- this compared to the 12 million dollars taken by
Lawyer David Rasif in 2007. They 'officially' said there were 10 cases involving
11 lawyers.

SINGAPORE DEPUTY
PROSECUTOR ACCUSED OF MISCONDUCT -- Defence Lawyer Mr.Zero Nalpon has filed for
a court order to investigate his complaint of misconduct against a State
Prosecutor who was not named!

FIFTY MEMBERS OF
LAW SOCIETY WANT AN ANSWER -- In connection with the above, a group of fifty
lawyers are pushing the Singapore Law Society for a satisfactory explanation and
are to file a motion to hold a special meeting. They want answers over the
incident with Mr Ravi and Prosecutor Wong Siew Hong -- there has been no
explanation at all from the Society and members are not happy with this.

PROBE INTO
JUDICIARY PROSECUTOR IS REFUSED! -- Lawyer Zero Nalpon failed to get an inquiry
over the misconduct of a DPP Lawyer because Chief Justice Chan Sek Keong decided
he had not made a case for this action to be approved --- strangely, this is the
first time such an action as ever been brought, therefore the outcome is not all
that surprising? especially in Singapore.

SINGAPORE
JUDICIARY IN CONSPIRACY TO MUTE 'ROGUE' LAWYER -- The story of Lawyer Ravi and
the Law Society took another disgraceful turn in that they are now seeking his
removal from practise using ' his fitness and health' to his disadvantage if
they can in order to bring him down. They are hoping that this move will
succeed so that they can 'determine if he's fit to practise law' and have
insisted he is examined --- this comes at the same time and definitely in
retaliation for him intending to increase his claim for damages from the Law
Society. An Inside contact says that the judiciary are finding his recent move
annoying and want rid of him.

SINGAPORE LAWYER
DISBARRED over complaints -- Leonard Loo Peng Chee was charged with misconduct
and was struck off the Rolls by three Judges who sat to hear the tribunal case.
It was said the lawyer failed to turn up at the hearing -- there were 86 counts
of misconduct and 14 complaints from clients plus accusations of dishonesty. It
was stated that the lawyer of 15 years did not comply with court directions.

SINGAPORE LAWYER
SERVES WRIT AGAINST LAW SOCIETY LAWYER -- Solicitor Louis Joseph served a letter
of demand against the Law Society's Lawyer Wong Siew Hong seeking compensation
for defamation against his client -- solicitor Mr Ravi, well known in
Singapore. Mr Joseph said he was also seeking an apology too.

SINGAPORE LAWYER
STOLE S$864,000 DOLLARS FROM CLIENT --- Lawyer Mustaffa Bakar deliberately took
client funds to the amount of 864,000 dollars. He was found guilty of
professional misconduct. The court says he now faces being 'struck-off' --
Bakar it was said, even produced a 'bouncing cheque' to the client. In 2011 he
was declared bankrupt, and in February he was accused of misappropriating
S$1.2million and faces criminal charges.

UN-NAMED LAWYER
RAPPED FOR MISCONDUCT (Jan 2013) -- A female Lawyer faces a fine for advising a

assets in a divorce case. The report says she did not promptly disclose the
information as required and now faces a tribunal court.

SINGAPORE LAWYER
MISAPPROPRIATES $1.2Million from Client Account -- The District Court jailed
Lawyer Mustaffa Abu Bakar for four and a half years after he admitted 4 charges
of criminal breach of trust, it was said that he was now bankrupt.

SINGAPORE LAW
FIRM IS SUED OVER BOGUS PROPERTY DEAL - Law Firm Vision Law has been accused of
conning a couple out of around $100,000 dollars, and say that Vision Law
misrepresented the deal to buy a property -- the owner of the aforesaid property
stated they had not granted anyone an option to buy.

SINGAPORE LAWYER
ROBS FROM CLIENT ACCOUNT -- Fun Huay Yew was jailed for 5 years for taking the
sum of $650,000 dollars from a client account belonging to Toshiba, and putting
it into the firm account. It appears he withdrew the sum and then deposited the
money held for a civil case against a Malaysian Company in his firm's account.
The District Court decided this was a criminal breach of trust, and not one of
mere misconduct.

SINGAPORE LAWYER IN BID TO SUE
DISABLED MAN IS REFUSED BY COURT -- Lawyers RIAZ LLC took over a client (Raj
Singh Shergill) from another lawyer....the client was in a serious crash that
left him severely mentally damaged.... Riaz was at the High Court suing the man
for money that he was unable to get from others. The Judge found it an
impertinence to heap their financial loss on a man they knew could not fend for
himself or take on the complexities of the law, he was a victim....the Judge
threw out the claim.

LAWYER SUED FOR NEGLIGENCE -- Mr
Johnny Cheo Chai Beng of Cheo Yeoh Associates was ordered to pay $841,000
Singapore Dollars to the relatives of an Indonesian Businessman after botching a
will which became invalid. The Judge found the Lawyer showed a lack
of competence allowing only one signature on the will when in Law it required
two.

FORMER DISTRICT
JUDGE CHARGED IN SEX FOR GRADES SCANDAL -- For the first time we now have a
judge on trial (The search for misconduct judges is always nil - because they
are hidden and unavailable) -- National University Law Professor Tey Tsun Hang
was identified by 23yr old Darinne Ko Wen Hui when charges were filed against
the former District Judge who is accused of having sex with a young female in
return for good grades on two occasions -- He has now been formally charged with
six counts of corruption.

'''' THE STRANGE
TRIAL OF THE EX-DISTRICT JUDGE........Proceedings in the what has been called
the ' Sex for Grades Trial' against Law Professor Tey Tsun Hang are getting more
bizarre! The whole thing is turning into a fiasco, maybe intended? Hang is
defending himself and attends in full court wear..... it now turns out that he
will not cross examine CPIB Officers he accused of attempting to coerce him into
making a confession? which doesn't add up at all......he feinted in court,
apparently on the final day it is said!.....is there something else going on
here? is he now aware that he is 'tilting the judiciary and judges' and needs to
pull back and not embarrass them.....in return for what? ........ a matter of
Asian Honour?........ and a dismissal of the case against him?

Update: Tey Tsun Hang is found
guilty on six counts of corruption.

SINGAPORE JUDGE SHOULD HAVE STEPPED
DOWN IN CASE -- An- un-named Judge was rapped by an Appeals Court after they
freed a jailed father. They came to the decision that the Singapore female
Judge should have recused herself from presiding over the child custody case,
because she had been 'so heavily' involved in the child wardship case that her
objectiveness had ceased to function when she jailed the man for contempt.
As per usual with the judiciary, her name was not disclosed and there is no
mention of any sanctions being decided against her despite the fact she took
someone's liberty and being 'a chosen one' she has immunity granted by the
Attorney General and Government.

SORRY STATE OF
LEGAL PROFESSION -- This item seemed to disappear as one tried to get at it,
apparently, one Singaporean Teo Soh Lung made this claim after reading an
article by Alex Au called 'The Ghosts of Absent Lawyers'. Lung says - 'the
sorry state of the legal profession has been in existence for decades -- it used
to have a few human qualities ' obviously referring to the state's over-riding
power which caused a riff between the Law Society and Politicians that revealed
state interference getting the upper hand in court decisions and law.

SINGAPORE
JUDICIAL SYSTEM NOT AS SAFE AS CLAIMED -- Past claims of the judiciary being
above reproach and the jailing of those who have 'libelled' its 'good name' --
who now must be feeling angry as recent cracks in the legal profession suggest
that they had good cause to claim it but could not prove it...now finally hear
that -- The Lawyer Ravi (August 31 - 2012) is seeking a court order TO HAVE ALL
THE COUNCIL MEMBERS OF THE LAW SOCIETY OF SINGAPORE EXPELLED and a call for new
elections. In a written summons issued he accuses the Law Society of pursuing
various judicial and extrajudicial actions against him with malice, bad faith,
recklessness and negligence in breach of Statutory and Common Law duties owed to
him as a practising member of the Bar. He said their recent actions concerning
the medical checks and actions to have him removed within the Law Society has
tainted every member..... suggesting that a 'clean-up' is necessary.

SINGAPORE - LAW
FIRM CLERK IN ASSAULT AND INDECENT EXPOSURE - JAILED -- Rick Tan Eng Lam was a
Clerk at a City Law Firm, he went on a drinking binge with friends only to end
up being arrested and charged at the police station. However, he then walked out
and stood in the middle of the road, dropped his pants and underwear and then
spat at officers who promptly arrested him...... the court jailed him for a
month.

SINGAPORE LAWYER GUILTY OF TAKING
CLIENT MONEY --- Selena Chiong Chin May who holds the status of solicitor and
barrister was found guilty on six counts of a criminal breach of trust.
The lawyer of 18 years was found guilty of misappropriating $12,900.

Lawyer Selena May was sent to jail
for nine months for embezzling client money (Aug 2013)

LAW FIRM PARALEGAL CHEATS LAWYER --
Paralegal Jeremiah Aloysius was jailed for a day and fined a total of $25,000
for giving false information to the police and cheating a lawyer at Surian &
Partners of $27,990 in 2006 when he was working for the law firm at China Town
Point. He pleaded guilty to 5 counts of cheating and lying to the police
in 2010.

LAWYER SUSPENDED FOR MISCONDUCT --
Lawyer Mr S K Kumar was suspended for three months by the court for failing to
communicate with his client and keep her informed on the sale of her house.
The Judge told him it was wrong to delegate communications through a non-legal
member.

TWO LAWYERS FACE MISCONDUCT TRIAL --
Singapore Lawyers Mr Manjit Singh and Mr Sree Govind Menon will face a
Disciplinary Tribunal after their final attempt to escape was dismissed.
Their last appeal to get the proceedings against them failed despite the
plaintiff in the case of a $1.6 million dollar claim withdrew. But the Law
Society ignored this and continued, and so did the Chief Justice on the second
attempt to derail the case.

LAWYERS LEGAL SECRETARY JAILED FOR
STEALING --- Misappropriation of $214,000 and using counterfeit stamp
certificates the court report says. Juliana Abu Bakar received a jail
sentence of 30 months and 6 weeks besides being convicted of three other charges
concerning property transactions.

FORMER NEA LAWYER Chia Kok Peng was
found guilty and jailed for 11 weeks for having sex with an underage girl.
It says he is the 36th defendant in the 'underage sex trial scandal'
who paid for sex, and that he was a lawyer with The National Environment Agency
in Singapore.

BARRED LAWYER BEFORE THE COURT --
Disbarred Lawyer Leonard Loo Peng Chee was struck off for misconduct in
2012...when he faced 86 instances of misconduct including dishonesty. He
now faces charges of illegally representing 8 individuals.

SINGAPORE'S ASSISTANT LAW PROFESSOR
FLOUTS THE LAW -- Law Professor Peter Soosay assaulted a cab driver over a fare
charge of 20 dollars, bloodying the driver who later needed stitches and
hospital treatment. He knocked the man to the ground and punched him
several times. The Taxi driver said he could smell alcohol on his
passenger before the man boarded the taxi.

SINGAPORE'S ATTORNEY GENERAL'S
CHAMBERS CONFUSING ROLE EXPOSED -- Political and strange, as the highest legal
office sends warning letter to film-maker who interviews striking SMRT drivers
He Jung Ling and Liu Xiang Ying who made allegations against the police that
they were assaulted in an attempt to get a false confession. The letter
says the AGC considers the interview and videos could interfere with the
court and create prejudice which amounts to contempt of court? It also
shows the prejudice of the legal profession here as we look at something else
they did. Chico Chin a demonstrator says the Attorney Generals Chambers
tried to bankrupt her in 2006 over her human rights protests urging the high
court to fine her $50,000.....which in most countries would be a tort of law and
illegal move which in the first example would inhibit Press Freedom.

SINGAPORE'S ATTORNEY GENERAL DOES
NOT LIKE THE INSINUATION ? -- Not surprising really, as the Singapore
regime were reminded about the 'mysterious Shane Todd Death' which they had
hoped to bury. Shane's parents in the USA claim that 2 pieces of
evidence were 'quickly' disposed of to prevent further DNA testing. The
Singapore Attorney General reacted fiercely saying that the towel and strap were
destroyed as a matter of 'protocol' rather than the cover-up that was
claimed.....the family still maintain he was murdered by persons unknown and
that a cover-up was instigated in order to protect another agenda the government
had.

SINGAPORE JUDGE'S
BIAS TOWARDS BRITISH QUEENS' COUNSEL -- Singapore openly showed their contempt
again for other countries, and amazingly enough this time, it was Britain, a
country that helped them gain independence, and they were proud to tell the
World they based their law on Britain....but a criminal case involving The City
Harvest Church and a big amount of money gone missing revealed their true
nature. As with the Shane Todd Murder case and the Chinese Military Technology
connection which triggered their refusal to allow the FBI to investigate, they
have now, or rather Judge Rajah has refused to admit London's Q C Jonathan
Caplan, saying the locals are okay for this....yet we find defendant Chew Eng
Han went to seven legal eagles in Singapore (SC's) and they declined to defend
him.....so he contacted the UK's Barrister Jonathan Caplan who
agreed.......typically, this shows that Singapore is not what it claims to be,
there is something nasty lurking!

SINGAPORE ARREST
PROTESTORS WHO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THE INJUSTICE OF THE ELITE GETTING HIGH
MINISTERIAL SALARIES AT THE EXPENSE OF LEAVING THE POORLY PAID IN THE GUTTERS.

IN SINGAPORE YOU
NEED A PERMIT TO SPEAK IN PUBLIC, you could find yourself arrested for saying
things about the government or police, so be careful because this situation of
repression has been likened to China, with some saying it is a little piece of
communist China practising in the old ways. This is supported by the fact that
Singapore's opposition ---party member Dr.Chee Soon Juan Secretary General of
the The Opposition Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) was convicted by the
Government controlled Judiciary of 'speaking in public without a permit' and was
subsequently jailed for it.

UNIVERSITY MAN
FLEES AFTER BEING ACCUSED OF 'REMARKS IMPUGNING THE JUDICIARY' -- This 1994 case
should receive more International attention so here it is --- Christopher Lingle
spent 20 years in Singapore never anticipating the day he would become 'a
fugitive' because of something he said and printed. He was a fellow of The
National University of Singapore. He had to resign and leave quickly amid
charges being brought by the Police and Judiciary for 'Criminal Defamation and
Contempt of Court' His alleged crime was that he wrote an article in response
to a commentary that was published by The International Herald Tribune. The
article was a general statement about repressive tendencies in some Asian
Regimes, but there was no particular country mentioned. This criticism as we
have seen no matter how slight, is not tolerated by Singapore more than anywhere
else, except China perhaps. The Police from The Singapore Criminal Investigation
Division interrogated Christopher several times, and it was obvious to him they
were intent on getting him. Christopher did not wait for the court date to
arrive and an almost undoubtedly -- a prison sentence.... as he now a wanted
fugitive. Singapore couldn't have done more to prove the point they wanted to
deny.

What we can see
from the above account is that although Mr.Lingle did not specify any repressive
Asian State or Country, the fact that he lived in Singapore was enough for the
Authorities to assume it meant them. Legally, this is absurd...at best it's
speculation and conjecture. In most countries this would be 'an abuse of
process' and be thrown out. Even if the police came forward and said they
suspected it might mean? the CPS would be ashamed to follow this up. It's like
accusing someone of 'he was thinking of robbing us, he didn't say so in so many
words, but you'd better charge him with doing so, and jail him as a lesson to
anyone else thinking of it' A jury would have no hesitation in throwing this
out....but then again, Singapore does not have a jury system or allow one to be
involved in its system of law....it has a sort of appeal system, but there are
few winners!

THE 'JAMES
MINCHIN' CASE and his deportation over his book on Lee Kuan Yew 'No man is an
Island' 1987. His deportation came swift as the angered Lee made his move. Lee
wanted to silence him, and there was only one method he used with foreigners.
Minchin wrote in his book ' from early times Lee Kuan Yew has shown
aggressiveness, which was often discussed by many who tussled with him and
watched him grab for power. An old family friend said of Lee, 'he would hit
anybody' This book 'A study of Singapore's Lee Kean Yew' certainly offended
him. Minchin went on ' Since attaining office he has tended to indulge his
instinct to bully and demolish. The need to flee from untenable situations have
been reduced and dignified by the mechanism of physical or mental withdrawal,
power mostly removes the humiliation of being 'bested'. He quoted the following
story of a former newspaper owner now retired, who was having an audience with
Lee, and apparently having not towed the line, Lee leaned over, grabbed him by
the collar and said ' I'm a thug, you're a thug, and as one to another, you'll
do what I say'

Deportations of
foreigners, lawyers assisting the Democratic Party in the 1990's was kept fairly
quiet due to the Internet not being in the position as it is now. They were
detained in rooms at the Airport and disallowed from the use of phones and made
to board the next plane home. Some were interrogated by The Secret Police,
often for several hours before being deported. The intimidation of the
Immigration Police, and Officers from the ISD was commonplace.

FORMER
SOLICITOR-GENERAL FEELS WRATH OF PM LEE: Francis T Seow thought he knew Lee
Kuan Yew quite well, after all, he was in the high position of Solicitor-General
in Singapore.....he watched others around him being targeted by the PM never
thinking it might come his way. But it did, when a case he was given involved
the Malaya-Singapore Airline. This is 1988, and Jerry Fernandez the Airline
Secretary 'maligned' the Chairman of MSA, who was a close friend of PM Lee.
Fernandez fled to Britain when he became aware of a plot to get him using
trumped up charges became evident. The Government and Law Minister insisted
that they bring him back for trial and told Seow to issue extradition papers.
Fernandez resisted the order and it was some while before Britain could assist
their 'pal'......but they did......and Fernandez was sent back to Singapore.
The lawyer acting for Fernandez wet to see Seow and applied for bail.....Seow on
reflecting the proceedings could see no objection and released Fernandez on
bail. All hell broke loose as soon as the news got out, the Law Minister and
the PM's Office were greatly annoyed....and so was PM Lee. Seow knew that an
'extraordinary amount of money had been spent on trying to get this man did not
equate with the vague charges' --- he did what he decided was right and wanted
to halt the expensive waste of resources. This encounter was to lead to a
direct attack, little did he expect that 'trumped up charges' would see himself
arrested and jailed. While representing a fellow lawyer detained by ISD and
under the Internal Security Act....Seow having seen the PM's fury inventing
charges found himself charged as an agent for the USA (Lee Kuan Yew hated the
Americans), he was quickly detained without trial for 'alleged collusion with
the CIA'.......he now knew what it was like to be a prisoner of the PM......he
recalls a conversation which he had with Lee.....when Lee said he'd rather be
feared than loved. Seow himself saw the dangers and fled to the USA, and lives
there now.....he knows if he ever went back he'd be thrown in jail.......in the
States his phone was tapped and surveillance was carried out by the Singapore
Government.

PROTESTOR JAILED
FOR PROTEST --- Chinese Worker Yang Wei working in Singapore made a peaceful
protest over a pay dispute with his employer by climbing to a position where he
could voice his complaint to the public. His Lawyer insisted a fine would
suffice in court, but Judge Low Wee Ping jailed Yang Wei for 5 weeks saying that
this kind of behaviour would incite others to do likewise and a deterrent
sentence must be imposed. I think this says it all about the Singapore
Judiciary and confirms that free speech isn't allowed and innocence disregarded.

SINGAPORE BLOGGER
Jiana Lai was arrested by police as she entered the Fairmont Hotel.

SINGAPORE PLAYS
THE PERSECUTION CARD --- Incident at The MacRitchie Reservoir and Merlion Statue
Show 2005 -- Ms Ng Chye Huay and Ms Chen Lu Jin were arrested as they practised
Falun Gong's exercises at Singapore's Esplanade Park. They had been trying to
raise the awareness of The Chinese Communist Party's persecution of Falun Gong.
Many said they had been wrongly accused and found guilty for 'assembly without a
permit' and 'possession and distribution of VCD's' without a MDA certificate.
What happened subsequently at the court raises much doubt about judicial
impartiality. The Judge imposed a disproportionate fine absolutely designed to
outway the pettiness of the charges. They pleaded not guilty and filed an
appeal, but the Judge set aside due process and jailed them both for 24 weeks
each!

SINGAPORE
THREATENS MARCHERS AND ACTIVISTS -- Marchers and peaceful activists wanting a
fairer society actually based on democracy, are being threatened and
investigated by the police. YouTube shows several of those individuals who have
bravely expressed their views, are being visited by the Singapore Police. One
Activist said that when you are put in front of the court for protesting, the
Government Judges are throwing out human rights and supporting the accusers. And
what crime has the protestor committed? 'To participate in a peaceful march for
democracy'.....and what happens to the protestor, they are fined or jailed.

SINGAPORE
REPRESSION CONTINUES -- Singapore continually claims it is fair and a good place
to come to, but recent news showing that Four men accused of being ringleaders
involved in a SMRT Bus Strike ( 6th Dec.2012) are facing charges and jail terms
for asking for better wages and living conditions! One unrepresented Driver Bao
Feng Shan has already been jailed for six weeks....and 29 other bus workers have
been deported, or as they put it -- repatriated! 171 bus employees stayed
away from work on a two day strike to protest about how they were treated and
the authorities are planning to punish them too.. What appears condemning of
this authoritarian country is this - Senior District Judge See Kee Oon agreed
with Prosecutors for the need to give out a deterrent sentence ' The Courts must
send a strong signal in sentencing to ensure that others are not emboldened
towards attempting similar displays of disaffection over employment terms of
conditions'.......two other workers on a Construction site, who were owed wages
made a protest on two tower cranes, were grabbed by Singapore
Police..........this is real proof that Singapore does not condone a 'free
society' and persecutes to the point of imprisonment those that do not fall in
line with their regime (as the Judge expressed ), which it certainly is. The
Judiciary is certainly carrying out the wishes of the Government...rather than
the independent claims they make to the Press.

NB Amnesty
International called on Singapore to stop these restrictive laws and defamation
suits to gag and muzzle critics.....but apparently this is ignored by the
regime.

SINGAPORE LAW
SOCIETY IN TROUBLE -- In 1986 October, The Law Society was said to be 'deficient
in handling eleven complaints' at a Select Committee Hearing. A year later in
1987 there was talk that The Law Society dare not utter a word of protest
against the Government.

SINGAPORE SNUB
THE INTERNATIONAL BAR ASSOCIATION -- In the 2008 meeting in which Lawyers from
most countries met, representing Law Societies and Bar Associations including
the Singapore Judiciary, it was openly stated that 'Singapore goes beyond
recognised constraints and provisions that allow the restrictions of freedom of
expression beyond these limits -- and are inconsistent with established
customary International Law and should be repealed. ' Defamation Laws (Criminal
and Civil) are tightly drawn together and used in connection with its
constitution in that a person sentenced to 1 year in jail or fined $2,000
dollars or bankruptcy (and the disproportionate court awards can easily bankrupt
the opponent), is not eligible to stand for election in Parliament for 5 years,
thus enabling these defamation cases to have the potential and prevent Political
Opponents from standing for Office. The Association was also alarmed at the way
PAP Officials initiated a series of defamation cases against Opposition members
and never lost a case!! Singapore is a member state of the UN, and is bound by
the UN Charter to respect fundamental Human Rights...even though they failed to
ratify the treaty...They denied and dismissed the Associations views and said
they were Protecting the values of Singapore!!..and will rule and adjudicate as
they wish even if the International Arena disagrees with it.

CANING COUNTRIES
JUDICIAL MEETING -- Singapore, Malaysia and Brunei collectively met for their
second judicial conference. 60 judges met at the Supreme Court of Singapore
hosted by Singapore's Chief Justice Chan Sek Keong. Malaysia Chief Justice
Arifin Zakaria said whatever happens in Singapore will have an influence in
Malaysian Courts -- we will share common practices and see how best we can
improve on them. Probably more caning offences to be drawn up for their common
practices, and more control of freedom in their penal codes?

Worldwide Civil
Society Groups were outraged by the Singapore Government who banned 20 delegates
who were to attend the annual Bank/Fund meeting --- Singapore went further in
its annoyance tactics by restricting freedom of expression and the right to
assembly --- Singapore they said ' is a secure haven with no respect for human
rights and civil liberties'

SINGAPORE - WHAT
PRICE IS JUSTICE? -- Anyone embarking on the task of taking a civil suit to The
Appeal Court has to find a staggering S$20,000 dollars as a deposit (Lawyer Mark
Goh remarked in 2009 - Only litigants of 'high net worth' or those who have
means to lodge an appeal can do so) 'Seeking Justice now has a higher price
tag'. Strangely for a country eager to show strength in their belief in
justice, not all that long ago (referring to the World Bank) Lee Kuan Yew said '
It makes the hopeful assumption that all men are equal, that people all over the
world are the same. They are not!' If this Singapore leader really does not
believe that all men are not equal, how does his government strive to build a
nation 'based on justice and equality?' when he denies it exists.

WHAT JUSTICE? a blog in January 2015
mentions the case of a 71 year old man who was sent to jail for 4 weeks for
causing $100 worth of graffiti, and a teenager who vandalised a rooftop with
graffiti who got 80 hours of community service and put on probation for 15
months. The blogger goes onto say that he remembers the Chief Justice in
Singapore who made boast of his quality of justice relied on the situation that
he was 'satisfied with his breakfast' on the day he was in court? and
furthermore it goes on to say this same Law Maker loaned his lecture notes to 'a
Prime Minister' when they both were studying at Cambridge in the UK....somewhat
now categorised as cheating had it been discovered.

THE MISCARRIAGE
OF JUSTICE IN SINGAPORE -- A report revealed that a man was jailed for 9 years
and given six strokes of the cane on conviction for alleged trafficking of
Cannabis --- 15 years later, the conviction was overturned by Justice V.K.Rajah
on appeal on the basis of a lack of evidence provided by the prosecution at the
time(1992). The court's decision was purely based on him being 'urged' to plead
guilty at his trial and an inadequate representation. We tried to trace the
outcome in respect of compensation, but found this 'not available' and the
judge, but were denied this line...its almost as if it didn't happen.....but
what it proves is, he would never get back the nine years lost, nor reverse the
severe traumatic caning...and Singapore doesn't care!

MISCARRIAGE No2
SHOWS UNETHICAL PRACTICE BY POLICE AND PROSECUTION -- The case of two men who
were convicted of robbery and murder, were eventually overturned, and odd job
man Mr Ismil was cleared of any offence by the Judge. The case had alarming
revelations -- A) Serious Lapses by the Police in that they were rapped for not
following procedure in recording the statement made by the victim's husband who
told them he saw only one man in the flat during the fatal robbery. B)
Prosecution Lawyers were criticised for not making known to the Defence Lawyers
the statement made by the victim's husband. Even during the appeals the state
prosecutors did not come clean and thought it best to reduce the the conviction
to robbery with hurt knowing at this stage that the two brothers were not in the
flat robbery. The Appeal Court and Law Minister Shanmugam have now said ' the
police must disclose all evidence to prosecutors' he seemed to leave out the
inclusion of the Defence? and the fact that the Prosecution did know, but chose
to conceal it in this case.

SINGAPORE TRIES
TOO HARD TO APPEAR BENEFICIAL -- Firstly, when one reads their reply to the
'White Paper on Repression of Political Freedom in Singapore' by Amsterdam and
Peroff --- a Canadian Law Firm, it comes across as Pompous. It reels of the why
and wherefores citing law sittings and judicial clarification, and a rather dry
account of how it had to because? and propping this up with assertions that the
people were behind them without as they often mentioned ' any shred of proof'
and why so? because they know the public will not speak out against them for
fear of judicial backlash of course. It is indeed a strange Government that
wants total control without challenge. The Dr Chee Soon Juan saga reveals a
government out of control, one seeking to have him committed. because he does
not represent their ideals. Dr Chee joined the SDP in 1992..he has been in and
out of jail for violating rules on public speaking, fined for selling a book on
the subject of oppression in Asia. Fined for writing an article...and jailed for
attempting to attend an International Democracy Conference. He openly challenges
PAP because he is against the enforcement of Singapore's unconstitutional laws.
Prime Ministers have sued him and he has been prosecuted for speaking in public
without a permit...he's been bankrupted by his own country's government! One is
left with the question, Why all this effort to convict one individual? Why is
a state that is now so wealthy and law conscious so eager to spare no effort or
money in silencing its critics?

SINGAPORE'S LOWER
CRIME RATE DUE TO TOUGH LAW DOES NOT ADD UP -- Singapore's Judiciary and
Government continually contest that 'they are revered by the world for their low
crime rate and protection for citizens because of their unyielding tough
sentences ' Yet close scrutiny (and our inside contact in Singapore who says the
crime figures are actually rising as seen in a internal memo) and research,
reveals in their own admissions that Drug crimes continue with the young doing
more, and in just a two day period they seized S$290,000 worth of drugs. Which
was followed by the biggest bust so far, estimated at $644,800 being 2.9kg of
Ice and 450g of Heroin. Recent reports show that they have more 'repeat
offenders' despite the harsh punishment (More than half of the prison
population in 2011 were repeat offenders who have been in jail five or more
times)-- the DPM Teo Chee Hean has said they are considering the parole system
instead of the 'one-third off the sentence for good conduct'...and that three
groups of high-risk repeat offenders are being put onto a mandatory aftercare
scheme which is compulsory in order to combat the problem. Ng Boon Gay of The
Narcotics Bureau announced in February that 26 Drug Syndicates were being busted
every year; one every two weeks! Loan-sharking is virtually a weekly crime with
raids being carried out netting several at a time. These offenders do
destruction to property, intimidate and harass victims (the public) including
assault...then there is the regular bag snatch thieves and several guys arrested
for 'modesty crimes' which carries prison and caning.....yet the claim that
citizens have protection and it is a safer city are still peddled in the face of
this......I don't think someone having their door set alight, paint being used
to write slogans and being punched will agree in certain areas of Singapore (a
small State).. As for the rest, cops have committed crimes, lawyers have been
caught, and business corruption exists even in government departments as we have
shown......it's time for the Justice Minister to stop this moral high ground as
a reason for repressive government policies........as they would say in court
'your argument is flawed'

OBSESSION WITH
JUDICIAL PUNISHMENT AND DRUGS BLIGHTS SINGAPORE IMAGE -- Regular visitor from
the UK to Singapore, Dr Reece Walker has told the public that Singapore's
draconian antidrug laws and policies on severe punishment like canings and
executions for drug dealers isn't working and they know it. He confirms what our
insider says, and confirms that heroin, ecstasy, methamphetamines and marijuana
are all available if you have the money and are prepared to take the risk of
using drugs. He says the drug trafficking in both Singapore and Malaysia is
controlled by gangs who are violent when they have to be. All couriers hired are
replaceable if caught and if executed, another takes their place so that there
is no interruption to the supply.

NB: 'ENHANCED
PUNISHMENT' apparently a person charged in court can be liable to enhanced
punishment? there is no such law or amendment in British Criminal Law, to which
Singapore claims to go by, nor is it known in the International Law....we tried
to find it....and there is no law in Europe allowing 'enhanced
punishment'.....and furthermore, what is it and what does it mean? Dr Reece
Walker is quite right about Singapore's warped laws.

THE CASE OF THE
13YR OLD AND SINGAPORE MORAL OUTRAGE VS NEAT DEFLECTION TRICK -- January has
started with a 'Public Conundrum' -- 13yr old student from India kicks out on
webpage 'mouthing off' on a Facebook Blog. Aditya Bhatia (the name he used)
posts bomb threat and says he hates Singapore and criticises the government, and
says he's gonna take big revenge? So the Singapore Police arrest him under
a sort of terrorism law and threat to Singapore...carrying a long jail term. The
boy is 13, and words are the only thing they have as evidence.......what bomb?
could he really get one?....very doubtful....where are the elements for this
serious crime? a crime that hasn't taken place. Some Singaporeans (locked into
flogging) have suggested caning and jail...which is not surprising from a State
that clings to the ancient past of punishment and torture, yet welcomes a cash
society into profit and wealth and silicone city lifestyles of the future. They
laughingly fall back on the claim that they use the cane for violent crimes of
hurt....yet a recent case of two men arrested for 'illegal departure' carries 6
months jail and at least 3 strokes of the cane.... where is the element of
violence here? nowhere, yet in another case a man gets 6 months jail for
beating a 12 yr old boy with a belt causing serious hurt over a long period of
time......there was no order made to cane the offender? yet in this latter case
there was violence....so it doesn't add up....what judicial reasoning can say
this is justice. Aren't they just going after the boy because he has upset
others, and the mob want revenge....and the government see this as another
opportunity to curb another critic? even though he is only 13.,,,,it's time
Singapore stopped this piece of theatre.

DEMOCRACY! the
words emblazoned on 'the vandalised' War Memorial -- Singapore says they will
spare no effort to get the culprits and deal with them severely, yet sadly they
miss the point --- just as the case above, the young want a change and they want
better rights and a different justice system....the defaced 1914-1918 Cenotaph
at Esplanade Park may be shocking, but its significance to youth now might have
been better if the authorities conformed with Human Rights...and let them have a
say without being arrested and detained.

NO DEMOCRACY IN SINGAPORE -- The
Republic does not allow it. To muster support for a cause whether it is
political or not comes under tight police scrutiny in Singapore. The
suppressive reign backed by swoops and police terrorist activities make
'canvassing' for support against unfair laws almost impossible. The proof
of this came to light when Mr Ghani stopped over in Singapore on May the 2nd on
his campaign tour from Malaysia; the Singapore Police filed a report against
him.

SINGAPORE GENERAL
CRIME RAID BY POLICE NETS 150 PEOPLE -- On the small island state of Singapore,
police in an island-wide operation taking around 18 hours arrested 150 people,
who were charged with crimes such as drugs, gang related offences, illegal
betting, immigration etc. Reported on June the 10th 2012, it was said to have
involved The Narcotics Bureau, Police and Customs.

SINGAPORE
announces fall in crime rate as they fix the figures -- and finally admit that
'youth crime' is on the increase. They also say that this is in the area of
'assisting loan sharks' but neglect to mention the drug situation and leave that
out of their report. (we have already seen the rise in youth drug taking and
supplying earlier and mentioned this with an official verifying the rising trend
back in 2011/12 -- see 'More Singapore Youth on Drugs')

MORE CRIME IN THE
'LOW CRIME SOCIETY' where crime is claimed to be down because of harsh penalties
-- Another 200 people were arrested in suspected drug offences in a 5 day
operation in Singapore (Aug 31 - 2012) 17 of whom were arrested for drug
trafficking --- drugs to the value of $159,000 dollars were seized. In a
separate Loan Shark Operation, police arrested 22 men and women during a 10 hour
operation. 14 were males aged between 24 and 62yrs, this operation was done
between Tues, Wednesday and Thursday in the last week of Aug.

SINGAPORE DRUG
CRACKDOWN NETS 84 SUSPECTS -- Despite claims of low crime and the harsh
penalties for drug offences, in October 2012, eighty-four suspects were arrested
in a five-day operation on the island state. 84 drug offenders were arrested by
the CNB who grabbed S$54,000 worth of drugs, Other cops arrested 21 suspects for
various offences in the Greylang area....and another police department arrested
81 people for offences of Public Order, illegal employment and
immigration.....186 people in just a few weeks in an island area of 28 miles by
something?......and they still maintain they have a low crime rate!

ALL NOT WELL IN
SINGAPORE - their claims of tackling crime have hit another barrier, Drug
arrests are up four times more than it was seven years ago despite the death
penalty and caning -- The government are now having to increase the jail time
and make it 30 years plus 15 of the cane -- two new offences put into the penal
code are: the illegal recruitment of the young into the drug trade -- and those
who throw parties and organise gatherings that have drugs will now face 20 years
jail and 10 of the cane (16the Oct 2012) This does not come as a surprise to us
as we've seen the figure of drug offences rising among the young...increasing
the penalties only shows that Singapore's tough justice isn't what they claimed
it to be nor is it a deterrent to criminals!

EVEN MORE DRUGS
CRIME - SINGAPORE CNB POLICE carried out a five day island raid and arrested 96
suspects and seized S$25,900 dollars worth of drugs - heroin, Ice, Cannabis,
Ecstasy and Erimin-5......which rather blows the theory of 'severely punishing
drug offenders' will lower this offence...this is Dec 14th 2012.

SINGAPORE CNB
ARREST ANOTHER 231 PEOPLE -- For various crimes around the Island State. 138 men
and 93 women were arrested aged 15yrs to 69yrs.....after an Island operation
which started on the 18th Dec 2012 ending on the 20th Dec, netted the 231
suspects -- 149 of whom were suspected of loan-sharking activities, illegal
money lending and runners and harasses. 82 of the total were grabbed in a raid
on entertainment outlets, coffee shops and youth hangouts. The raids were
carried out by the CID and CNB, and Singapore Customs.

Later news -- 20
more people were arrested on Friday Dec 21st in a 17 hour operation by police.

Year end news on
crime -- 14 more people were arrested in a 10 hour operation by the CNB on the
29th of Dec. The anti-crime raids in the Eastern side of Singapore (Geylang -
East Coast Park) netted suspects involved in loan sharking, drugs, secret
societies and contraband.

This brings the
total of such raids in the last few months to having arrested 897suspects on one
small island!

The Drugs bust
situation rolls on into 2013 with the Singapore CNB seizing 1.4 kg of heroin at
the Immigration Authority Tuas Checkpoint when they arrested a Malaysian Courier
bringing in $160,000 dollars worth of drugs.

SINGAPORE LOWER
CRIME RATE CLAIMS-- HIDE DRUGS RISE: The Singapore Prison Service are currently
in self-congratulate mode (Jan2013), but this was not the whole picture -- the
number of people admitted into drug rehabilitation has more that doubled
according to the recent figures --- in 2010 there were 688 prisoners, but now in
2012 there are 1,384...and a great number of them are between 21yrs and 30yrs of
age.

New Year's Eve
brings more DRUG ARRESTS -- 113 Suspects were arrested by the police and CNB in
a three day operation....they seized quantities of heroin, Ice, Ermin-5 and
Ecstasy valued at around $57,000 ( 31/12/2012)

1st Feb -2013 CNB
DRUG RAID SEIZES BIG HAUL OF DRUGS -- The Police and CNB say they netted a
quantity of different drugs - 1kg of Heroin, 68g of Ice, 188 Ketamine, 450
Ermin-5, and 98 Ecstacy tablets....they did not however, disclose the number of
arrests or suspects?

90 MORE PEOPLE
NABBED IN DRUG RAID (21/2/2013) -- SINGAPORE CNB arrest 90 suspects during an 18
hour island wide operation. Police and Narcotics officers seized $180,000
dollars worth of heroin and 300grams of Ice and took into custody a 34yr old man
for drug trafficking; 200 police officers were used in the operation.

85 SUSPECTS
ARRESTED IN TWO-DAY ISLAND WIDE RAID -- (4/3/2013) - SINGAPORE CNB along with
police went on a two day operation which netted $15,000 worth of drugs including
117g of heroin, 14g of Ice, 25g of cannabis and a small quantity of ketamine.

340 SUSPECTS ARRESTED IN
ANTI-CRIME CRACKDOWN -- Singapore Police in an island-wide operation to stop
crime (May 20 - 23rd 2013) caught 340 people, of which 190 were suspected of
being involved in loan shark crime - there were 200 men and 140 women.

92 MORE DRUG SUSPECTS ARRESTED IN 3
DAY OPERATION -- The police and CNB scooped up drug hauls valued at $214,000 and
$113,000. They seized 1.3kg of heroin, 1.7kg of cannabis and 330
Ermin -5 tablets...and 912g of heroin and 514 g of cannabis. on June the 10th.

21 SUSPECTS ARRESTED in an 18 hour
police operation on the Island State targeted drug-related, gambling and other
criminal offences (July 10th)

SINGAPORE DRUG ARRESTS ARE MOSTLY
REPEAT OFFENDERS --- Yes, contrary to the lies and propaganda peddled out by the
Singapore Government in support of caning and long prison terms, in the first
half of 2013 the drug offences arrests were 1,790 according to released
figures... yet in the same period in 2012 it was 1,731 showing a deterioration
in their deterrent effectiveness as repeat offenders are being sentenced a
second time after having received a caning and jail and are back for more of the
same!

SEX WITH MINORS CRIMES INCREASE IN
SINGAPORE -- Devastating figures emerged to reveal that sex crime had increased
especially with minors. 12 convictions were recorded in just 6 months of
2013, whereas in 2012 there were only 13 for the period of 12 months.

PAEDOPHILES DISCOVERED IN ONLINE
INVESTIGATION -- Several Singapore citizens have been nabbed in a USA sweep of
the Internet child sex abuse operation launched over a 5 week period. The
task force targeted online sexual predators and abusers who not only perpetrate,
but produce and trade in child pornography. Some of those caught were teachers
and clergy!

SINGAPORE PM LEE
SAYS THEY MUST TIGHTEN UP ON CORRUPTION? -- he said this in the light of recent
cases involving the CPIB itself and senior officers. He pledged there would be
no cover-ups! but a cover-up would never be known to the public, so this pledge
is rather futile and meaningless without accountability. This speech at a
public forum is of course - Propaganda -- to throw off the recent scandals
including the sex scandal and the CPIB. He repeated the tired claim that
Singapore is regarded as one of the least corrupt nations in the World? --- his
words, the world does not share his view at all......this is the same man that
said there was no corruption and crime was low.

THE UNMENTIONED
RISE IN CRIME -- THE PERVASIVE COMPUTER CRIMES -- Despite the continuous claim
of a lower crime rate (always aimed at drugs and the Geylang area where the poor
live), Singapore, the small Island State, play down and hardly admit to a
proliferation of computer crime that is fast growing in this country. The KPMG
audit firm looking into fraud (computers) identified that in 2004 -- 19 percent
of firms reported computer fraud, and by 2007 it had gone up to 59 percent --
emerging as the fastest growing and pervasive category of fraud -- it also has
the second highest number of ' Cyber Bullying' cases --- Some 25 per cent of
Singapore students out of 3,488 said they had been bullied online. Since 2007 it
has been identified as a major player in computer crime throughout the World.

THE CASE
SINGAPORE HAS TRIED TO GAG --- The authorities have said nothing and pretend
that this story of a 'Man who may have been murdered in connection with military
technology' does not exist, but it does, and we have the paperwork: 18/2/2013
-- US Citizen, Shane Todd was in Singapore working at a government research
institute working on a high electron mobility transistor, an amplifier with
commercial and military applications, one partner in this is the Chinese Company
IME and Huawei (said to be a security risk by USA Law makers). Shane Todd
before his sudden death, told his parents he was worried because he was being
asked to do things with a Chinese Company that made him uncomfortable, and felt
he was being asked to compromise American Security and could harm National
Security. He said he was quitting IME and had given a period of notice.
Shortly before he was due to leave Singapore, he was found dead. He was found
by his girlfriend who said he was packed for leaving, 48 hours later the parents
arrived to find the death scene did not look anything like what the Singapore
Police had written up. From that moment, things got more bizarre, the parents
approached IME and after a frosty reception, Lawyers for them said there would
be no more contact! Suddenly, the research Institute director Dr Kwong calls in
co-workers who worked alongside Shane and told them they were not to discuss
anything with outsiders or reporters? Police who were called to
the death scene quickly took away his computers and hard drives. The FBI,
considering it was a US Citizen, offered to help investigate, and the police
turned them down twice! Shane had been sending messages about 'the theft of
Military sensitive technology at the Institute' indicating he was in mind to be
a whistleblower, he'd been working there 18 months and knew much about what was
happening. The Institute of Microelectronics is Singapore's high profile
scientific research company....and Shane was an Electronics Engineer. The
Singapore Police said they'd kept the FBI informed of the 'murder'
investigation. It was said that the Singapore Government and other
other bodies began to 'stonewall' any attempt by outside investigators.....The
Financial Times Investigators who did much of the work, Raymond Bonner and
Christine Spolar kept up the pace as long as they could following any and every
lead, much to the annoyance of The Singapore Government and police......Shane
had five folders on his hard drive labelled IME....his father on entering his
son's death scene found Shane's back-up external hard drive and had it
analysed....it showed thousands of work files were transferred to the pc hard
drive that day....and the Todd's are willing to hand the Singapore Police a copy
of what they have provided the Singapore Police send them a copy of all of the
files on their son's laptops they seized...and have custody of.....an inquest is
to be held in March. The Financial Times says there are serious discrepancies
in official accounts surrounding this death of a US citizen, and it raises
serious questions about relations Singapore and China....and additionally the
USA and Singapore?

Case Update on
Shane Todd -- TWO AMERICAN SENATORS BLOCK FUNDING TO IME IN SINGAPORE -- After
the mysterious death of Shane Todd (who was found hanged, claimed by the
Singapore Authorities as suicide until defence marks were found on Shane's
wrists etc, proving he resisted and struggled), The Singapore Government said
they were deeply disappointed at the USA when Senators Baucus and Tester
introduced legislation to block US funding to IME until Singapore allowed the
FBI to go in and investigate -- and have full access to all evidence and records
held by the Singapore Police.

Update: The Todd family walk out on
case and dismiss their legal team -- as case in court begins to look 'rigged' by
government and judiciary. Certain evidence is being redefined to look like
'suicide' despite alternate views pointing to 'suspicious unexplained events'
that are being side-stepped. The Todd's are convinced that a 'whitewash'
is being done about their son's murder so that Singapore can throw off the China
connection they desperately want to bury.....they flew back to the USA before
the end of the Inquiry.

PS It will not surprise you to know
that has suggested earlier, this case has been whitewashed and thrown to the
sidelines amid denials and government rhetoric......which has been expected
right from the beginning.

SINGAPORE ACCUSED
OF REFINING STOLEN OIL FROM NIGERIA -- here's a little item that sneaked its way
to us -- which does not help Singapore's claims of no corruption! -- The former
Nigerian Presidential Advisor has openly stated that 180,000 barrels of stolen
Nigerian Oil each day, is being bought and refined by Singapore Industry. (Oct
2012)

SINGAPORE RATED
AS ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST 'INFAMOUS' TAX HAVENS -- Tax dodgers and avoidance
find a suitable home in Singapore, which has been graded as one of the seven
best places for the rich to get their tax down (reported 30/3/2013).

SINGAPORE GROUP LIAISE WITH NORTH
KOREA SECRETLY -- While the International Community was being threatened with a
near state of war by the North Korean Junta.... a secret committee of Singapore
Young Professionals from The Choson Exchange were regularly sending members to
build economic ties with them as they had many similar goals and idology.

SINGAPORE
CORRUPTION -- HISTORY REVEALED - Wherever corruption is on Singapore we will
find it....and this next selection in addition to what you can already see
certainly blows the myths that this government issues........ 'The Patrick Tan
Affair' The son of a prominent figure in Government circles was given special
privileges -- according to a report he didn't meet with the National Service
requirements...but was still given an honour and fast-tracked into positions
that nobody could figure out why.........we then have the secretive case of 'The
Helicopter Bribery Scandal' when Eng Heng Chiaw appeared in court for offering a
Defence Ministry Official a $500,000 bribe. The 'sensitive' trial was held
behind closed doors...and was deemed 'classified' by the Singapore
Government..... we come then to 'The National Kidney Foundation Scandal' in July
2005, which still has repercussions today. The NFK corruption case netted the
Chief Executive Officer T.T.Durai who was charged under the prevention of
corruption Act......in 2006 a civil action was lodged with the court for damages
of $12 million which included him and four others. All of which, came to be
revealed because of a failed defamation case! Before all of this...14 civil
servants including statutory board officials were charged with various offences
in 2005.....and even in 2003 there were 32 civil servants caught and charged
with corruption. ( for links to this article go to

SLEW OF SINGAPORE CORRUPTION
SCANDALS --- Highlights a growing problem in Singapore says a report at
Aljazeera. com. They say that many Singaporeans are alarmed at the surge
of Corruption cases now happening through the courts and fringe media.....but
some see it as a sign of their justice system working? It says that
Singapore said nothing when the International Community discovered that a Global
Crime Syndicate responsible for rigging 100's of football matches including
World Cup qualifying rounds, plus Champions League matches was being run by a
Singaporean who they did not touch! The City Harvest Church Case of
misappropriating $50 million is another. Pop star Sun Ho's husband Kong
Hee is charged with fraud and siphoning off millions, some of which supported
her career and failed album. The year long corruption investigation ended
with their trial on the 22nd with six Church leaders in the dock.....Sun Ho
complete with bodyguards went to the first day of the trial to support her
husband. We also have the 'Under Age Sex trial' netting over eighty
males....most of whom are getting prison sentences........but despite this,
Singapore is keen to classify it as 'not that bad compared to other countries
'........even a Dr Wolfgang Sachsenroder, a visiting Politics Professor at the
Institute of South East Asia Studies, prefers to categorise it so -- '
Corruption in Singapore has not yet reached a stage where the Public should be
alarmed ' Yet, Georgia Funn, Administrative Clerk for the Court
(18th May) says these corruption trails have shown what kind of country
Singapore has become......'The five C's of Singapore' seems to have got a new
C.... and that is corruption, and that is nothing to be proud of '

SINGAPORE
GOVERNMENT OWN ' THE STRAITS TIMES ' and is controlled by the authorities...The
Government have the power to hire and fire.

SINGAPORE ALLOWS
'MONSTER CROOK' MUGABE of Zimbabwe in for medical check-up and treatment. See
the 'MUGABE AND THE HISTORY OF EVIL' article lower down the page for common
friendship links and ideals with the Singapore Government.

SINGAPORE
SHIPPING COMPANY FINED £20,000 with £50,000 costs by U.K. Court --- Pretty Time
Shipping -- a Singapore based company went on trial at Southampton Magistrates
Court for illegally discharging a quantity of palm oil into the sea close to the
Isle of Wight. They at first denied all knowledge but later changed their plea.

CORRUPT POWER
GRID OFFICER TAKES BRIBE -- An officer with the Power Grid of Singapore received
4 weeks in jail and was fined $1.600 dollars after he was found guilty of taking
a bribe of 800 dollars from Ng Ah Tai at Ley Choon Construction in return for
withholding the truth in the form of a report.

SINGAPORE
CITIBANK IS BEING SUED FOR £8 MILLION POUNDS..88 year old businessman Le Seng
Hoan and Indonesian trader, has accused the bank of making false and misleading
statements, and exerted undue influence on his investment decisions, which has
resulted in a loss for him. This sounds very much like the FSO Fraud cases and
recent bank activity in the UK, which has swindled customers out of many
millions in recent months.

CORRUPTION PROBE
BY SINGAPORE CPIB --- Singapore Civil Defence Chief Peter Lim and Central
Narcotics Bureau Director, Ng Boon Gay have been suspended and are being
questioned after allegations of serious misconduct were made in connection with
alleged corrupt practises. Both of them have been bailed in separate
investigations -- the government have asked the people not to see too much into
this??

GOVERNMENT
HOSPITAL IN CORRUPTION PROBE as Deputy Director is accused of soliciting a bribe
from a contractor. Peh Chew Seng head of Projects and Developments at Tan Tock
Seng Hospital was bailed in a surety of ten thousand Singapore Dollars and will
appear in court at a later date.

CHAIRMAN OF
SINGAPORE STARTECH stole S$29 million in a bank swindle with five accomplices.
Saw Chee Keang fled to China after jumping bail in 2003. He returned to
Singapore in September 2011 and gave himself up as he was a wanted fugitive. He
with others cheated Maybank and the DBS Bank. Startech was a Sesdaq listed
Company. He is hoping to get a reduced sentence by returning.

LAND AUTHORITY
EXECUTIVES JAILED FOR CORRUPTION -- Two Senior executives were jailed for
cheating the government out of 12 million Singapore dollars -- a report
announced --- both were not named. ...... We have traced a case of two land
Authority Directors who stole 12.2 million dollars -- named as nKoh Seah Wee and
Christopher Lim Chai Meng, both convicted of fraud and money laundering, so
these could be that case. Koh was the Deputy Director at the Singapore Land
Authority Technology Department and Meng, a Manager at the SLA. It was revealed
that they had created false invoices. Koh faced 249 counts of cheating and other
offences, revealing a huge elaborate fraud. Koh drove an expensive Lamborgini
and invested in property, which was not picked up by the CPIB or Internal Staff,
even though he was seen in it away from the Company?

SINGAPORE'S RE-ASSESSMENT OF
CORRUPTION FOR IMAGE --- Moving the goalposts for gain is not new, and
Singapore obviously do not believe in the 'a spade is a spade' argument, and
this certainly applied to the 'Corruption Perceptions Index' when they decided
it must drop from 5th to 7th position. Two high profile cases, one
concerning The Singapore Civil Defence Force Commissioner in the 'sex for
contracts' scandal and the Assistant Director of the Corrupt Practices
Investigation Bureau (CPIB) for misappropriating 1.76 million Singapore dollars.
Amid a corruption case of Teh Cheang Wan caught taking cash from contractors in
his Ministry of National Development Office, we see his appeal of 2014 when the
judge said his actions did not amount to corruption because there was no 'third
party' to induce him. This same assessment was given to an IKEA food
service manager.... when the same judge, Justice Choo Han Teck said again there
was 'no third party' inducement -- yet he had ripped off the company. In
another case involving the Judiciary this time, and the Legal Profession -- a
complaint against Solicitor Alvin Yeo involving 'overcharging' legal fees while
representing The Medical Council -- the judge ruled there was 'no professional
misconduct' as he did not prepare the invoices. And in another strange
case of the law being able to interpret how it sees fit -- we have solicitor
Yang Yin who is involved in filing court papers demanding access to $1-13
million in cash while at the same time he is facing 'a criminal breach of trust'
charge for misappropriating $500,000 dollars in 2010 and another count of
$600,000 dollars in 2012? Will this be seen as 'no third party inducement'
and another case of corruption being re-classified in the interest of
Singapore's Government and elite?

SINGAPORE WEALTH
AND SUCCESS IS BUILT ON CHEAP LABOUR --- Foreign mostly, according to a study
done by one of its own officials turned dissenter and the people's mouthpiece.
He says that although Singapore is about twice the size of the Isle of Wight off
the South Coast of Britain, is by all accounts overcrowded -- and this works to
the advantage of a wealth seeking Government who put money before its people
(not the rich ones it protects) and can just about put a high price on anything
-- often boasting about its remarkable success in the finance market -- while
leaving the poor, of which there are many (mainly kept in the social housing
area of Geylang where the Druggies operate along with the loan sharks and red
light district). Singapore is considered one of Asia's richest and most
expensive countries (where dissenters are not allowed), they made their money on
the back of the poor in the deceitful knowledge of knowing the less fortunate
could not react or retaliate against a brutal law system and the connivance of a
dictatorial republic regime.

SINGAPORE
PRESIDENTIAL POWERS ARE 'MUTED ' BY GOVERNMENT -- Minister K.Shanmugam made it
plain that the newly elected to be President cannot publicly challenge or speak
out against the Government without acting against the Constitution, Law and
Foreign Affairs. He can only act and speak as advised by the Cabinet, as he will
not hold any executive power, which means he is a mere puppet whose strings are
controlled by those who want no changes. The last elections were in 2005, and
now Businessman Andrew Kuan of the JTC Corporation wants to be elected. He has
been around the island talking to local people saying he wants to hear them and
be the next ' People's President ' He also stated that he wants to share the '
unfiltered voices' of Singaporeans -- which indicates that the Government put
pressure on critics and suppress any real opposition to their decisions, hence
the fact he could do very little for changing things...especially not in Law or
the the Constitution, which in fact that people's voices will be just as
'filtered' as they were before...

SINGAPORE EX-NNP PARTY MAN SAYS Any
civilised Society should accept and embrace a brutish Government - these were
the strange but true words of Calvin Cheng...which rather explains why Singapore
is like it is.

CLAIMS OF
CLOSENESS OF TIES BETWEEN SINGAPORE AND USA ARE RATHER FLAWED, and we give you
the following reasons: Foreign Minister to Singapore, K.Shanmugan is in America
making claims that the USA have a special bond between them -- (we saw such
claims in the government paper The Straits Times, but it has suddenly
disappeared on their on-line edition) because they now have warned the USA not
to use rhetoric and words of condemnation on China suggesting this could cause
strife in Asia (this coming on the heels of the USA and UK calling China and
Russia despicable at a UN Meeting over Syria). Singapore needs trade with China
so the reason is plain to see. We now see more on why Singapore and the USA
could not be the buddies as hoped;

America 1993 and
the outrage over Michael Fay, further outrages concerning other American
citizens treated to Singapore laws --- Amnesty and the Foreign Office US are
collecting data on human rights infringements every year and are the only ones
able to record what is happening in the country's system of punishment.
Singapore claimed victory over the Americans by caning Fay --- saying that
they'd seen this mighty power cringe and walk away with its tail between its
legs.

Philippines
relations were strained with Singapore, and they vented their frustration at
their own government who they requested should take action against Singapore
after Flor Contemplacion's hanging....diplomatic relations broke down for three
years .... even today, that anger still exists against Singapore.

Australia was
furious with Singapore - Attorney General Philip Ruddock condemned the Singapore
Authorities saying the hanging of Australian born Nguyen was a barbaric act ---
Singapore rejected five pleas for clemency -- one was from John Howard the
Prime Minister of Australia.

Singapore and
Australia it is said -- are in a joint defence pact and have been bowing to each
other as a recent meeting (Sept 2012) indicates. How quickly the Aussies forget,
and play politics -- and how nice for Singapore to know it has them at its feet
--- its intentions have been seen for many years as its arrogance grows
stronger.

The Netherlands
were another country that positively hated Singapore and its people called for
armed response against Singapore --- we have featured that article earlier.

So this chummy
claim can only be based on arms bases, business investments, strategic ties and
little else as we bring you some facts and history related to how China fits in
with Singapore from the 1990's to now: Mr Shanmugam, who says that
the law in Singapore applies to everyone as he pals up to China can be explained
quite simply -- China has great holdings in Singapore, in other words --
leverage! HPL -- Hotel Properties Ltd are a Chinese Corporation owned by Ong
Beng Seng -- they have a huge portfolio of properties in Singapore including 50
per cent of HRC Holdings backed by Chinese Business Groups. Another Chinese
mogul is the Salim Group owned by tycoon Liem Sioe Liong -- it is known as an
investment vehicle --- and runs the United Industrial Corporation Property
development -- Singapore Land Subsidiary being one of the largest property firms
in Singapore. One can plainly see why China is more important to the Singapore
Government.

One thing
Singapore keeps quiet about is --- China said in the 1990's ' The jewel in the
Chinese Crown is Singapore ' which seems to explain why they so readily come to
China's aid.

More on the above
--- SINGAPORE SITS ON FENCE AS IT STIRS UP CHINA -- US WRATH --- Despite his
visit to the USA --Minister Shanmugam has been at it again, ---On his recent
visit to Beijing, China where they are praising him for 'ticking off the
Americans in his warnings of rhetoric and anti-Chinese dialogue -- he appears to
be playing both sides. Neighbours to Singapore have stronger views on China ---
The Philippines' who are not buddies with Singapore have allowed the US to build
up a greater Military Presence on seeing China expanding its territorial claims
in the South China Seas!! It may come to 'choosing sides' warns Asia --- and
Singapore may end up in the mud...and instantly lose three members of the 5
members defence pact - maybe they know that considering their new move to closer
military ties with Malaysia? see below.

At the present
Singapore are enlarging their defence capabilities with Malaysia, and only
Malaysia?? Could this be to get ready for China's bid to take the Spratly
Islands in The South China Seas? Trouble has been going on there recently with
China reasserting itself, and its new found strength of 'muscle flexing' in the
area, after all, they have been wanting these 60 strategic islands for many
years because China considers control of the South China Seas as an essential
prize they must obtain for military and mineral reasons (oil rich deposits).
Singapore obviously wants to be assured of a 'friendly relationship' in that
event, but at the same time have a plan B. which is a sort of ' wait to see
which side wins and then join them because you supported them anyway '

SINGAPORE ACCUSED
OF MEDDLING IN THE SPRATLY ISLANDS --- The Philippine Star revealed that
Singapore was meddling in the issue of the Spratly Islands --- an issue
involving China. It claimed that Singapore had no business in the Spratlys
because it is a non-claimant country -- 4 main and two others -- Malaysia,
Brunei, Vietnam, and the Philippines along with Taiwan and China have a
legitimate claim -- so why does Singapore want to be included? In 1998 a
regional code of conduct was established within the South China Sea in order to
create peace and security. Suddenly, Singapore steps forward wanting to be
involved directly in the activities of the islands (there are already 10
signatories to the declaration). Is it seeking to get in and benefit from the
oil and mineral rich area for nothing?

SINGAPORE GETTING
READY FOR WAR? --- The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute has made
a report claiming that Singapore is the 5th biggest arms buyer in the world...as
it buys a range of Artillery Rocket Systems, Fighter Jets, Battle Tanks and
Seahawk Naval Helicopters. One has to look at recent activity in the Singapore
Government and meetings held. It's a small place to be buying so much in the
weapons of destruction area.....one doesn't spend huge sums on arms in a
peaceful country to just look at....they are clearly bought for a purpose other
than just defence....are they planning to give assistance to one of their
treasured neighbours?

'Singapore
Getting Ready for War' part two --strange developments -- Singapore seems to be
playing a strange game as it now warns of a US-China War, Singapore's Defence
Chief Ng Eng Hen was in Washington on the 4th of April urging the US to have
more engagement in Asia and referred to the US as a 'Resident Power'...he made
much of the US-China Conflict and told some he was very concerned about a war,,,
yet we suggested and worked out that Singapore held this knowledge many weeks
ago as it became engaged in arms buying and cementing closer ties with China, as
you can see from our articles. Is this Singapore climbing into bed with both
sides in a bid to benefit either way?

SINGAPORE RESORTS
TO MUTE LEGAL JARGON AGAINST REUTERS REPORT --- The Reuters report on Singapore
allowing Iranian Cargo to pass through its port cannot be all wrong as they
indignantly protest and claim --- the fact they have retaliated with issues such
as 'confused several important legal points' only tells one that they are
looking to interpretation of the law, and anyone who has studied law knows that
this means whatever a judge may choose in his opinion from a choice of several
other meanings, The fact that they rebut the report on Iran Sanctions being
breached shows how sensitive they are right now over the China issue.

SINGAPORE MAKES
WAVES --- Indonesia says Singapore has refused to ratify an extradition treaty
with them until they get their way over a defence pact. Indonesia say they
rejected a proposal that Indonesia's Military have a say over the scope of naval
exercises by Singapore that are held on Indonesian territory as part of the
pact. Indonesia wants the ratification of the extradition treaty because it
says it wants to track down fugitive business executives who owe money to the
state and ran down over the border and into Singapore. 18,000 Indonesian key
clients with more than a $1 million reside in Singapore and have assets of 87
billion dollars. Of course, the Singapore government denies everything said and
have blamed it on Indonesia!!

SINGAPORE PLAYS
THE JAPANESE CARD! -- Having extolled their relations as chums of China, just
how far one will go to profit by a situation has arrived in Singapore --- in
that they have now announced friendly bilateral defence ties with
Japan.....their one time enemy, and still in conflict with China....another
great pal of Singapore!

SOMETHING WICKED
THIS WAY COMES -- Interestingly, and possibly another missing piece in the
jigsaw, we have noted that China is introducing an Internet search engine in
Singapore! --- Baido Lab with the Singapore R & D Agency -
A*Star....concentrating on? yes, you might have guessed it -- a search engine
allowing users to conduct searches in the southeast Asian language. ( Another
aspect could be to identify protestors and bloggers who criticize both
countries, something very likely) You might ask is this odd? but consider
this, in the region -- China claims that Asia countries primarily use the
Chinese language...Singapore have English, but appear to be turning away very
covertly and backed by China to do so. It was once acknowledged that Singapore
was previously known as 'a Chinese run island' - and this subtle move certainly
indicates something more than what it pretends. Singapore is cosying up to China
as we have shown -- is China about to wage a land grab and begin the next war
situation with Singapore on its coat-tails?

Interestingly in
addition to Minister Shanmugam's China friendship --- 3 years earlier, Lee Kuan
Yew brought China' s wrath upon the country when he suggested on behalf of the
Singapore people that Asia needed the USA.

SINGAPORE ANGRY
OVER 'LEAK OF SECRECY' attack Taiwan Press for report on the secret Military
Meeting involving Taiwan'sd Minister of National Defence, Kao Hia Chu, which has
now led to a suspension of military cooperation. Singapore was said to be
unhappy that this meeting had been revealed. The Taiwan Newspaper retaliated by
saying 'Singapore have a cheek in trying to control outside journalism -- they
kick up a stink if anyone tries it with them'companies
as a way of possibly laundering drug money? What is now known is, that the
Singapore Authorities did nothing to deter this? Another sad and disturbing
fact is -- It was also a known thing before the millennium that arms dealing and
an arms industry is a Singaporean speciality -- European arms made under licence
went to regimes like Pol Pot and Sadam Hussein....British manufactured arms went
on to buyers through Singapore with false end use certificates. Arms for Iran
were secretly sent via Singapore, and in 1990, BMARC secretly supplied a
shipment of arms and ammunition to Burma through Singapore -- it was openly said
that Singapore was 'an aid in a time of need' and was twice this for SLORC...Singapore
is considered an important 'back door' for regimes in need of weapons.

MALAYSIA ACCUSES
SINGAPORE OF INTERFERENCE --- This time it is Singapore doing all the denials,
as it emerged that some of its Foreign Affairs Officers (Diplomats) were present
at the Bersih Protest Rally in April at Kuala Lumpur. Some reports say that two
or three officials were taking sides, but the Singapore MFA said they were not
trying to interfere in Malaysia's Domestic Policies and that the delegation were
simply - 'impartial observers' (the government line)

SINGAPORE ANGRY
OVER ACCUSATIONS OF BEING A REFUGE FOR 'DIRTY MONEY' AND FUGITIVES FROM JUSTICE
--- Eric Tan Chong Sian, Director of Singapore's Corruption Investigation Bureau
refuted claims made in the Jakarta Post - the 11th of Sept -- that said
Singapore was a safe haven for criminals with their ill gotten gains.

SINGAPORE IN TENSION WITH INDONESIA
OVER AIR POLLUTION --- News that Singapore were angry with the smog that
engulfed the Island Republic State in its worst air pollution in sixteen years
led to a diplomatic tiff as the plantation firms in 'slash and burn' land
clearing in Indonesia caused the region's air to be thick with smoke.

SINGAPORE AND
WIKILEAKS -- 'The Revelations' -- From the 251,000 cables released, Singapore,
Malaysia and Indonesia were shown not to be that open or truthful -- what they
admit to on a 'specially prepared' forum is an exercise in cover-up and
carefully fed statements. Three of Singapore's Ministers -- of the Foreign
Affairs Ministry were revealed to have secretly trashed Malaysia in 2008 and
2009. Peter Ho, Bilahari Kausikan and Tommy Koh made remarks concerning the
Malaysia Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim saying that he'd been set up by the
government on 'sexual perversion' charges and that Prime Minister Najib Tun
Razak could face a murder charge (of Mongolian Transalator Atlantuya Shaaribuu),
plus the the possible issue of fleeing Chinese Malaysians 'overwhelming'
Singapore in the event of unrest and a purge on them. Even comments about
Malaysia being a corrupt country were published as spoken by Singapore diplomats
in communicates.

THE SINGAPORE
BLOG AND DISSENTERS MYSTERY -- Myth or Manufactured? -- We have at several
times tried to track down this band of protestors --- but alas, they disappear.
We tried one recently, the mystery CPIB man who blogs as -- Singapore
Recalcitrant....and got nowhere....and again with Gerry Heng...who featured on
blogs......but all our e-mails bounced and came back.....so where are these
people.....and what's their game?

SINGAPORE NEA
THROTTLES THE THE LIFE SUPPLY OF SMALL BUSINESS ---The National Environment
Agency uncaringly hit a Street Vendor with a rent rise that smothered the
entrepreneur to bankruptcy. Chenwh492 as he names himself for safety reasons was
appalled when the NEA arbitrarily increased his father's food stall at Old
Airport Road by 36 percent (nearly a thousand dollars to fifteen hundred) a
price he couldn't afford. He says the letter of notice was callous and impolite
and did not take into account the circumstances of the vendor. They indicated
that he ought to find alternative locations.....and this was after building up a
life-supporting business for three years in that area. This doesn't convey a
picture of Singapore fairness, furtherance of opportunity or economic pride for
everyone they boast about...this is the other side of that one-sided coin.

DEAF EARS IN
JUDICIARY as foreigner pleads against sentence for man who robbed his flat --
David S Powell lived and worked in Singapore for two years, and on returning
from a trip, found his flat had been burgled. He was told by the police the
robber had been caught and was sentenced to 10 years in prison and 10 strokes of
the cane. Mr Powell saw this as excessive and the caning as barbaric, and went
to appeal to have this sentenced reviewed because he was the so called wronged
citizen, but was told it had nothing to do with him and that the man had been
caned and would serve the sentence.

SOME 'HOME
TRUTHS' ON SINGAPORE -- Singapore is about twice the size of the UK's Isle of
Man or Isle of Wight, about twenty miles long and eight to ten miles wide, not
big at all for a country....yet, a lot has gone on over the years, some things
never revisited such as --- Their connections with Burma in the 90's when it
joined ASEAN, which is primarily devoted to making money, and has hardly any
interest in Human Rights or Democracy. Burma is in fact very keen on enriching
the drugs trade, and Burma is one of Singapore's biggest investors. It is said,
the sanctimonious Lee Kuan Yew is often lecturing the world on Moral Purity of
Asian Values and the need to engage constructively with oppressive regimes (such
as Burma) -- is at best a joke, and a poor one at that. In 1996 when Lee was in
overall power, the Bangkok NATION reported that Burma's drug lords --
Ling Ming Xian and Lo Hsing-han who head the major multi-million drugs trade in
Upper Burma, frequently made visits to Singapore and set up

THE BLATANT
CONTRADICTIONS:

It is said that
Singapore's real achievement is 'Social Control and its Attendant Fear' making
democratic debate impossible. They have a great desire for oppressive
uniformity -- a trend the regime has responded to with relish and aggressive
support -- The Racial Harmony Act prohibits sermons on social and political
issues saying they are irrelevant? What one can easily identify here is
numerous contradictions to what they preach and what they do....they hang
druggies, yet deal with drug producing countries...they appear to embrace ties
and tourists and despise violence...yet cane over-stayers and immigrants who
haven't raised a fist to anyone? Another conflict in their claim of 'the cane is
there for violent crimes' is absolutely flawed by a 2013 case of two thugs, Hock
and Chong 46 and 41, (both within the caning age of 18 to 50) were described as
'being one of the worst cases of violence against a public transport worker in
Singapore (and several passengers on the bus) -- the level of hooliganism was
appalling, audacious and shocking' said the judge, but they both got 15 months
jail (no caning)....yet the authorities say the reason they must add a caning is
because of violent crime? One recent case involving two suspects in Drug
Trafficking ended up with one going to the gallows and the other getting life
imprisonment and 24 strokes of the cane? (what the caning serves to do is
mindless, he's no threat to the public he's serving life in jail, so it could
not be seen as a deterrent to him) Muhammad Ridzuan Md Ali 28, is going to
hang, his friend, Abdul Haleem Abdul Karim 30 is getting life in prison (plus
the cane) and they are both guilty of the same crime. He appealed to Judge Tay
Yongkwang to be fair and let him hang alongside his friend....the Judge said
'the court dies not have complete discretion to do whatever you want me to do,
you have a certification from the Attorney General's Chambers -- your friend
does not' Yet, Changes in the Law in 2012 gave Judges the discretion not to
impose the death penalty on drug couriers..... so yet again we find the
Judiciary being steered by the Government.... and....the claim to keep the cane
doesn't add up!

THE SINGAPORE ACTIVIST MYSTERY --
When one trawls the Internet Pages and eventually finds the bloggers and
dissenters putting up videos and other material, The Democratic Party being a
huge contender here, one quickly accepts something is going on......even if it
isn't......one of several of those people 'want the outside international
community to take notice'......but,,,,,we tried to make contact with these
so-called 'urgent cries for help' and we found 'no one'......not a single
reply........having thought about it, it could well be the PAP inventing an
opposition so that they remain in power and create a sort of enemy to fool the
citizens into trusting the PAP absolutely.....much like the Police and Security
services using deflection methods to hide covert operations.

ANIMAL CRUELTY
CASES ON THE RISE IN SINGAPORE -- THE SPCA say that according to new figures,
animal cruelty has gone up by a fifth in 2012 and looks set to rise further.
Last year there were 1,017 reports of abuse against animals, some beaten to
death, legs cut off, poisoned and cats slashed.

SINGAPORE COPS CARRY GUNS -- Unlike
the British, Singapore follows the USA tradition of Gun Law, which could make a
visit more dangerous......and it ties in with their penal codes and why they are
heavy on anyone carrying a replica or fake gun.

MORE SINGAPORE
YOUTH ON DRUGS according to figures issued on users after increased arrests --
the age of drug users is said to be rising with the teens in Singapore -- up by
45 per cent (Singapore Press 2012) Drugs and the death penalty have stirred up
ill feelings and is condemned by the UN -- but research tells us that most of
this drug trafficking comes via Burma, a country that strangely has some
influential business deals with Singapore?

FOOTBALL MATCH-FIXING RING ARRESTED
-- Based in Singapore, Fourteen people have been arrested in the global
(International) football match fixing network.....run by leader Dan Tan Seet
Eng. The ring was first discovered by the Europeans who told Singapore that they
had found the ring operating there. It took mounting International
pressure to get the Singapore Government to do anything...as they didn't feel
the need to get involved and Tan just laughed the matter off. It now
appears that 12 men and two women have been arrested.

EDUCATIONAL ACHIEVEMENTS DON'T MEAN
MUCH SAY SINGAPORE MINISTERS -- In a reversal of the many cries throughout
the years for students to excel and grab certificates and degrees --- Ministers
turn back the clock! NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT MINISTER Khaw Boon Wan
said ' You own a degree! so what? You can't eat it if that cannot give you a
good life, a job.... it's meaningless ' EDUCATION
MINISTER Heng Swea Keat said ' That a good qualification alone does not
guarantee a career, let alone a job ' ACTING MINISTER FOR
SOCIAL AND FAMILY DEVELOPMENT Chan Chun Sing said ' Soft skills, not a degree,
are the most important thing for young people to learn '

A UK Diplomat said the
ideals of Singapore is to make money first and foremost, and that meant
preferring to forget that a Foreign Power provided the set-up for the
acquisition of wealth. Some who see the Singaporeans are repelled by their
self-righteousness based on nothing but deceit. The thing often not mentioned is
the shame of 1942 and Singapore's surrender....the appalling military disaster
and shameful disgrace in Britain's Imperial History. The British had a duty of
defending Singapore, not only because of Britain's 'other interests' but the
British Might that suddenly vanished. The hollowness of Britain's promise was
laid bare and exposed...so much so that today, no Singaporean mentions February
1942. They lean more towards the USA who rode in, and with the Atomic Bomb
brought down their captors the Japanese.....and strangely enough, the USA does
all it can for Japan these days to ease their conscience of that decision to
nearly obliterate that country...to end a war.

SINGAPORE HIDES BEHIND PROPAGANDA -
Singapore may show off its cars for the wealthy and make claims that it is a
rich man's paradise --- but behind the facade of lies it hides the simple truth
'that is a con' the country or better described as 'dictatorship' is
corrupt and this corruption has been aided and abetted by the UK, Australia and
New Zealand to a greater or lesser extent --- reason being? that it suits
their governments to see it like this. This country ignores its stand on
'torture' -- the added torture of prisoners, which it clings to as 'Internal
Affairs' and its Secret Police State that can do anything without fear of being
brought to book -- Yes, its Security Police besides locking people up can force
confessions using any means....the Government interferes with the Judiciary and
the AGC do as they are told. They have recently hidden facts in a Prison
Death Case and closed the inquiry....luckily they are now being sued over the
dead prisoner....and then there was the 'Shane Todd' case which was closed by
the government amid accusations of their arms links with China and a firm
dealing in secret projects..... Singapore may look clean and prosperous, but one
should look at how it came about.

SINGAPORE, WHERE THE POOR LOSE
OUT....in fact they're priced out....they have no say really...and the very
wealthy get more rich. A Report has just announced that Singapore is now
the World's 'most expensive' city to live in. The wealthy are actually
increasing, but only in the stockbroker financial belt....which the Singapore
Government encourage. The survey (2014) concluded after looking at 131
cities, that it is the most expensive place to run a car (and quite a number
have Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Rolls Royce)...where the cost of living has
risen quite rapidly.....and where the rich dictate the laws and who they want
shoved out of the country.

NB; most of the
featured crime - corruption, police, lawyers etc was taken from just a 3 to 6
month period, and that is high for a colony area which is in fact city size and
a little bit more - now turned state and country.

SINGAPORE HAS NOT
RATIFIED THE INTERNATIONAL COVENANT ON CIVIL AND POLITICAL RIGHTS -- MAKING
RESTRICTIONS ENFORCEABLE --- SINGAPORE'S RULE OF LAW IS NOT FOCUSED ON
DEMOCRACY.

TO BE FAIR TO
SINGAPORE, CORRUPTION EXISTS IN ALL GOVERNMENTS AND POLICE.......BUT SINGAPORE
DENIES THIS............They are not alone!

Note: What we
show here is not the full story but a mere scratching of the surface...we will
look for more.

Twelve related
articles of note: -- (1) Professor Hussein Alatas made the observation that
corruption is least pandemic in Malaysia since Independence in 1957. He goes on
to say corruption has definitely been growing especially in public office,
customs, police, the courts and various Ministries.

(2) 'Singapore
should cease violating fundamental rights citing self serving Historical and
Cultural excuses that only tarnish its global image' --- Report by The Human
Rights watch, New York. February the 3rd 2011.

(3) Singapore's
Government says it's laws are protecting the people and its culture -- the
sacrifice of certain freedoms for the good of the economy and prosperity
requires a strong law, --- this strangely echoes what Adolf Hitler said ' The
individual is nothing. The group is everything -- When group rights get the
upper hand, gone are the 'inalienable rights' given to the individual by his
Creator'

NB: Hitler says
he drew his inspiration and belief in the above from The American Declaration of
Independence?

(4) Lydia Loh of
the Insolvency and Public Trustee's Office, an agency of the Singapore
Government, has denied Activist Dr Chee Soon Juan permission to leave Singapore
to go to a conference in Oslo. He was invited by The Oslo Freedom Forum in
connection with The Human Rights Foundation to speak over three days - the
7th,8th and 9th of May. The operators who have booked his passage say he is
being penalised for criticising the Singapore Authorities.

(5) One
Singaporean observer said ' This obsession with flogging is a real sickness in
Singapore in epidemic proportions, and because of this, has become a pariah
internationally '

(6) It is said
Singapore suffers from the 'Kiasu Syndrome' = 'Afraid to lose out, or fail'

(7) Singapore
have no studies published, nor release any statistics on punishment, prisoners
and the judiciary, but the judicial system grants the police absolute power.

(8) Singapore in
meeting with China again discussing Maritime Law Enforcement in the South China
Sea! -- Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean went to Beijing to meet Communist
Party Member czar Zhou Yongkong of the Politburo to discuss security-- law
enforcement, cyber crime and maritime law enforcement --- which points to recent
aims of Singapore to crush dissenters via the Internet with partners, China, who
are equally disposed to the same ideal, and for the same reasons -- plus
maritime discussions, which points to China's activity off the Philippines and
Spratly Islands in the South China Sea, and their intentions of getting them,
and as we have already seen; Singapore's interest in trying to be involved
commercially despite not being a signatory to that treaty ...repressive law,
well, both of them indulge in that. Lastly -- The English and Chinese language
in Singapore that nicely places them in a position to benefit from both the West
and East in the event of a war that Singapore expects- (see Getting ready for
war part two - Singapore Defence Chief Ng Eng Hen in Washington)

(9) Singapore
has three Judicial Acts that allow immediate detention without trial -- The
Internal Security Act, The Criminal Law Temporary Provisions Act, and The Misuse
of Drugs Act vehemently and rigorously applied by the Police of Singapore.

(10) Singapore
makes 'minor' changes in Death Penalty Law -- claiming they wish to appease
'modern day thinking' -- so they claim? However, they still remain 'doggedly'
steadfast to the idea that Judicial Murder is a good thing -- it is quite clear
there are no Christians in the Singapore Government and Judiciary or the people
for that matter --- In the Bible the fifth commandment says 'Thou shalt not
Kill' -- but they have their own perverse version handed down by the ancient
Gods of The Rising Sun. Lastly, their ancestry, mostly from China, murdered
and butchered many without ever being hanged...so murder is one of their traits,
yet they act as if murder now should receive the death sentence when their
relatives engaged in it like a way of life.

(11)
Singapore and China get together to build strong bilateral relations between
each other --- indeed, a meeting with China's Security Chief Zhou Yongkong and
Singapore's Deputy Prime Minister looks very cosy and more than just a
coincidence? They claim they can learn from each other, and why is that? China's
recent mood is convincing us all that a war looms, even Singapore said that.
China thinks nothing of intimidating its rivals and shows a willingness to bully
anyone especially as its economic power builds...it is for this reason alone
that the threat of war is certainly real, and will come. It is said by a few
Western journalists now focusing on China and its recent behaviour, that it is
becoming a dangerous nation...and although Singapore is not willing to admit it,
they and other nearby Asian countries are hitching themselves to US defence.
Japan has already installed new US anti-missile radar systems! and of late,
there has been several defence drills involving US troops in Asia and around the
South China Seas. America has already confirmed they have sent several
battleships to the region.

(12) Singapore
is in the United Nations? -- it maintains the right to cane and flog prisoners?
-- it signed up to the United Nations Human Rights Convention against torture?
or did it? -- we see Jamaica has abolished whipping of prisoners as 'degrading
punishment -- an anachronism which violates Jamaica's International obligations
and was preventing the government from ratifying the United Nations Convention
on Torture -- which tells us they were unable to join unless this practice was
abolished.....yet Singapore continues to use it....so how did they get in....and
why were they allowed to override the convention requirements?

NB: While Singapore continues to
cane....think on this -- Dr Maggie Atkinson (Anti-smacking of children) says
that Physical Chastisement is an abuse and a criminal action, and that 'You are
forbidden from striking another adult and from physically harming your pets
under British Law and in many other countries in the civilised World' Dr
Atkinson is The Children's Commissioner for England who says allowing children
to be smacked is wrong and morally unjustified as the Law says hitting another
is assault and criminal. Singapore modelled its courts and justice
on British Law, yet orders the assault to be carried out on defendants found
guilty of certain crimes along with a jail sentence........why isn't Dr Atkinson
and other campaigners taking Singapore to task Internationally? and why isn't
this seen as 'indecent assault' when they strip prisoners naked to be thrashed
while up to seven others are in the room watching as the caning is being
administered....are we looking at money, power, and politics?

(13) After a lull or brief stay on
executions, SINGAPORE HANGMAN begins again, as two men were hanged in July 2014
returning the status quo and indulging in canings too.

14) LEE KUAN YEW Dies -- and
interestingly, a Western newspaper article sums his life up as ' he traded
freedoms for prosperity and a nanny state that flogged prisoners, granting
powers of detention that were unlimited in their application allowing a brutal
security regime to quell those who questioned it and took anyone to court for
comments contrary to his rule. It was also mentioned that his
'vindictiveness bordered on vendetta situations' and that as a child he was
denied a pet canary so he plucked out all of its feathers to get back at his
parents. He once pioneered human rights and attacked detention without
trial prior to becoming the PM, and said repression is a habit that grows, and
later strengthened detention and brought in strict repression along with a tight
reign on law and the citizens......that only Hitler could admire (and Mugabe of
course).

PS. If you are
thinking of a holiday in Singapore, take these two points into consideration, 1)
their culture may be quite an eye-opener despite the English Language being
spoken 2) there are dangerous snakes at large anywhere on the Republic Island
State -- a Deadly Cobra was faced off by a cat in their Labrador Park area of
the City........other snakes have also been known to be coiled up and asleep in
door wells and apartment blocks.

And lastly,
Singapore is not good for your health.

Request -- We
tried to obtain some documents from an ex-prisoner in Singapore who said he had
proof of an historic secret war crimes abuse by Singapore Officials and the
Government....and it suddenly ceased after he sent us our required proof of one
document which had enough for us to continue....we should like him to reconnect
with us using our agent in Singapore.

One MEP urging
Europe to sort itself out says we should all in the west beware of the 'rise of
Asia' ?

PS: Singapore is about the size
of The Isle of Man, and if all of what we listed on this republic happened
there, there would be a government change and a scandal that would not be
tolerated or allowed to continue!

Need some info about 'hidden
war crimes' and Singapore.....somebody must have some stuff they hid.

'The
Desperate Situation and Lawless Law of Africa '

SIX SOUTH AFRICAN
POLICE OFFICERS ARE SUSPENDED AFTER FILMED BEATING - Johannesburg police were
filmed as a result of a documentary which was not supposed to feature this kind
of thing. Mark Reynolds a police spokesman said that six white officers have
been suspended and charged with assault and intent to cause grievous bodily
harm.

SOUTH AFRICAN
POLICE DETECTIVE ON ATTEMPTED MURDER CHARGE....yet he is involved in the
detection of the 'Pistorious Murder Case' Hilton Botha a lead Investigator has
now been taken off the case because charges relating to an incident in 2011 when
he was accused of opening fire on a minibus full of passengers (then dropped
under strange circumstances) have now been reinstated by The National
Prosecuting Authority on the 4th of February just 10 days before he was assigned
to the Pistorious Case. They told the Press that Officer Botha has now been
suspended while they proceed with the charges against him.

News Update: it
now appears that Detective Hilton Botha has resigned from the force claiming '
that he has been stitched-up by colleagues and the police command' and hung up
to dry. (This could indicate like Britain, that he will escape charges when
Officers can use ill-health etc to resign and offences are dropped in
recognition of it)

EIGHT AFRICAN
POLICE OFFICERS from Gauteng are to appear before magistrates on charges of
stealing alcohol. The eight policemen are to be tried at Potchefstroom
Magistrates Court. It appears that a Senior Policeman driving past the officers
saw them loading the crates into police vehicles having taken them from a truck.
An officer from the South African Police Service found them loading the beer
after claiming it fell from a truck, a truck they were following. The driver of
the truck stopped after another vehicle owner said that his load was being
grabbed by the cops, and the truck driver rang for police back up. All eight
were arrested at the scene.

THE EVILS OF
ZIMBABWE - Another Caning Country like Singapore, but in respects of Death --
far worse. This brutal regime fronted by MUGABE is a blot on this Earth that
should be engulfed in fire and burnt to ashes. This African hell hole with its
torture camps manned by soldiers of the army murder citizens without any fear of
going to the gallows where they should be. Ordinary citizens found guilty of
murder are hanged without the slightest blip from the judiciary,, but the
judiciary cannot touch army personnel or put them on trial for committing
atrocities. Soldiers laugh and admit freely they shot and tortured victims, and
why can they do that -- because the judiciary and police force is corrupt from
the core. MUGABE has got away with genocide and laughed at the whole world, and
opinion is that he will never stand trial for anything. The PF who pretend to
consider human rights in the area and monitor the 'blood diamond ' situation
ignore reports and are now prepared to let this man trade on the open market
despite the atrocities.....all for money, because that is how Governments
measure human existence.

ZIMBABWE SENTENCES MAN TO 290 YEARS
IN PRISON --- Said to be a 'record sentence' a court in Zimbabwe actually
decided to sentence a rapist to 290 years in prison,,,,,,,,awarded by a
Magistrates court!

ZIMBABWE EX-LAWMAKER ON PORN CHARGE
-- A former Congressman from the USA appeared in court for possessing
pornography. Mr Mel Reynolds is also on another charge of breaking the
country's immigration laws.

MUGABE - A
HISTORY OF EVIL -- Robert Mugabe the State President of Zimbabwe --- his
notorious Fifth Brigade troops all trained in Asia's North Korea, responsible
for the slaughter of 1500 Ndebeles. Mass torture in Zimbabwe jails as reported
by Amnesty International: victim's heads forced into a waterproof canvas bag
full of water -- tightly tied around the neck until they choked or vomited to
death. Repression -a lawless dictatorship -- bankruptcy and slaughter -- all
these things said in 1989 and Mugabe is still wielding the power. Those
convicted (without evidence) of political and economic crimes are publicly
flogged or executed -- Mugabe's Government ---(1) controls the newspapers, radio
and television. (2) it tolerates no criticism. (3) those that dare to do it
are rounded up, secured with rope or handcuffs, shackles, bound and beaten with
canes in prison. (4) They are then sent to re-education facilities and
programmes to eliminate deviants and dissenters of the ruling party. Similar in
some ways to how Singapore does things when one considers (1) (2) and (4) --
the beating part is additional and a deterrent. (Mugabe is welcomed into
Singapore quite regularly -- see the Singapore article)

MUGABE said 'We
have to ensure that our society is rid of those undesirable elements whose own
attitudes militate against the attainment of unity' ---- another ideal that
Singapore subscribes to. It vaguely feels and smells like ethnic cleansing
hiding behind a different brand name.

AFRICA'S POLICE
VIOLENCE AGAINST PEOPLE IS STILL ON THE UP -- From 2009 to 2010 there were 1,667
cases of assault by police in Africa. The Independent Complaints Directorate
with the help of David Bruce, compiled figures that were higher than 2008 to
2009. Bruce had been investigating cases lodged against the SAPS, and also
revealed that one of the leading causes for this was criminal members joining
the police and infiltrating the force for their own pleasure and gain. This
report was issued on 26/5/2011.

OTHER CANING
COUNTRIES IN AFRICA ARE - UGANDA - BOTSWANA - KENYA - JOHANNESBURG - All of
these countries have no regard for human rights, and are ruled by despots and
dictators who are in the main, corrupt and evil, and until the west wake up and
stop worshipping position, power and money...these things will continue as they
have done....death and violence is what they deal in, life and decency means
nothing.

NIGERIAN COURT ORDERS 20 STROKES TO
GAY MAN -- a Bauchi Court sentenced a homosexual man to twenty lashes.....
Mubarak Ibrahim faced being stoned to death by the Islamic Court, but because
the ' offences' took place seven years earlier...corporal punishment was given
to show leniency!

UGANDA ANGERS USA AND OTHERS -- The
International Community reacted angrily at the decision by its President to
introduce an 'anti-gay Bill' to punish and outlaw those with leanings towards
homosexuality within the country. In an already 'anti-human rights'
country soaked in corruption, President Yoweri Museveni signed a Bill publicly
which can jail 'an offender' for up to 14 years.....it was leaked that the
original sentiments of the legislation was intent on bringing in the death
penalty. Sweden has threatened to cut aid, which has also been put
on the USA agenda.

CORRUPTION A WAY
OF LIFE -- South Africa is riddled with corruption in every form from murder to
inter-government ministers etc, A recent Channel 4 programme showed murder
being committed by villagers without any law being present. It also showed
housing officials taking bribes,,, and denying it, which comes as no surprise.
One top Party official became aggressive when he was questioned over how he'd
suddenly got rich, showing Mugabe qualities of threat. One is always hearing of
denials by countries regarding corruption, and it doesn't wash. Ourselves and
Wikileaks are dedicated to exposing this until this world wakes up and owns up
to its many crimes, and pays for those crimes. All these regimes and countries
hide behind lawyers and judicial systems that are not fit for purpose, and until
they go there will not be one honest society or people.

AFRICA BLOOD
DIAMOND TYRANT FORMER PRESIDENT OF LIBERIA IS JAILED --- Charles Taylor Former
President was sentenced to 50 years in jail by The International Court in The
Hague for war crimes, and crimes against the people. The atrocities were
enormous and numerous, all of which he denied of course. All of his brutality
happened during the 11 year war in Africa. Sadly unlike those he had murdered,
he will spend the rest of his life in the comfort of a UK Prison and not on the
rat infested bare floor of a cell like those he incarcerated.

SOUTH AFRICAN
POLICE CHIEF EUGENE DE KOCK, Hitman and leader of a death squad was convicted of
murdering five African National Congress members. His trial in the Pretoria
Supreme Court lasted 18 months and he faced 116 counts of attempted murder and
fraud. The report states that he carried out the campaign between 1985 and until
1994 -- he was known as a police colonel of the South African Police -- one of
the highest ranks.

Update: PAROLE DENIED TO DE KOCK --
Former Head of a covert police murder squad, that tortured and killed many
people, was denied parole because the families of those who were killed were not
consulted, which is part of African Law. De Kock apparently confessed to
murder and other crimes and was given a life sentence. The case
highlighted the need for other officers who should have been punished to be
tried, but got away with it because of the 'reconciliation move' that allowed
many killers to own up and move on with their lives....which really flies in the
face of justice.....this same country hangs murderers for less crimes without
hesitation, why should 'Historic killings' be different?

Update: Unbelievably, De Kock is
seeking parole, which is something his victims never got when he killed them.

SOUTH AFRICAN
POLICE SHOOT AND KILL 34 IN MINES MASSACRE --- Mineworkers protesting about pay
and conditions were gunned down by a unit of cops who murdered at least
thirty-four men and injured seventy eight others, They claimed they 'were under
threat of their lives and it was a safety issue' -- this battalion of police
officers were dressed in full combat gear like soldiers and had automatic
weapons -- the mineworkers had stones, sticks, and alleged knives?

MASSACRE AND THE
POLICE FIT-UP -- It has emerged that the police have been accused of planting
weapons at the scene of their killings to justify any court inquiry. It is said
that two photographs of the scene immediately after and later are different, the
later ones show weapons next to corpses. Photographs taken earlier show the
same corpses with no weapons! Human Rights Lawyer George Bizos has accused the
police with tampering at the scene of the crime. 'There has been a deliberate
attempt to defeat the ends of justice after the events took place' he said.

COMMISSION SAYS THE POLICE LIED OVER
MASSACRE -- The President's Commission has now come to the conclusion that the
police lied about circumstances surrounding the events of the Miners being
massacred. It was found that police withheld documents and falsified
statements (and evidence) to make out that the South African police acted
lawfully when they didn't. They put forward the lie that they acted in
self-defence, but this is no longer accepted by the Commission.

NO ONE CHARGED OVER MINERS DEATHS --
In 2012 34 miners were killed by government police with dozens of others
injured. 18 months has passed since false promises were made about
carrying out a proper investigation into why armed police killed so many, and
then went on to tamper with the crime scene. There has been no indication
that the Commission will go after the police chiefs or officials who gave the
orders to shoot and kill.

SOUTH AFRICAN
POLICE IN 'MURDER' ACCUSATIONS -- Police were caught on a phone camera dragging
a taxi driver tied to the back of their van, and was later found dead in a
police cell.......seen all over the world, the South African Police find
accusations of corruption and murder being more credibly laid at their doors.
News broke saying that a murder investigation has begun over evidence showing a
taxi driver being assaulted and dragged tied at the back of a police van. The
film shows at least 4 police officers involved who tie the man to the van and
the police van drive off pulling him along the ground. 27 yr old Mido Macia was
later found dead in a police cell two and a half hours afterwards. under
questioning, the officers made no reference to the tying and dragging incident
(because they were obviously unaware or blasé about phone videos) and concocted
lies about a gun and a struggle which they instigated.........24 hours later a
Police Chief announced that 8 police officers had been suspended as was the
Police Station Commander.

It is said in an
update that 9 police officers have been charged with murder in connection with
the taxi driver.

DEATHS IN POLICE
CUSTODY were 860 in 2009/10 compared with 695 in 2003 to 2008.....and the
Independent Police Investigation Department (IPID) say they are currently
investigating 720 new cases of suspicious deaths.

NIGERIA ILLEGALLY
DETAINING PEOPLE -- Reports are being read accusing the Nigerian Authorities of
Execution and Torture -- AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL have said the African Country are
holding hundreds of people in inhumane conditions without access to lawyers etc,
and they are merely suspects. They are being held without any criminal charges,
and some have been summarily executed by Security Forces. People held have been
shackled for days wondering or awaiting their turn to be beaten in order to get
a confession.

NIGERIA MILITARY DETENTIONS -- 100'S
DYING --- Amnesty International announced in a report that hundreds of people
are dying in detention --- from starvation, shootings and suffocation. The
Nigerian Forces Crackdown as claimed the lives of 950 people who died in
military custody in the first six months of 2013. A source said apart from
what is known, others grabbed have simply disappeared!

KENYA'S
GOVERNMENT IS SUED OVER POLICE BRUTALITY -- Following the Elections in 2007,
the Government of Kenya is being sued by 4 Human Rights Groups and the families
of seven people shot dead by Police -- The Law Suit has been filed by the Law
Firm Nderitu Partners Advocates. Records of this period show that police shot
dead 405 of the 1,100 people assembled at the elections....and many were shot in
the back.

KENYA POLICE IN BRUTAL BEATING OF
BRITISH CITIZEN -- Reports say that British National Alexander Monson lay dying
on the floor of a Kenyan Police Cell in the coastal town of Uganda three years
ago after a beating by police while in custody. It says that officers
ignored him and his pleas for help and denied him medical help said a friend at
an official inquest into the circumstances of how he died. The incident
which was kept quiet by the authorities happened in 2012 one May night (the
18th). Pathology said he had died from a severe blow to the head.....he
was apparently brought into the police station for a cannabis charge. The
family say that police began a cover-up and despite other actions no one was
charged at the police station........not really a surprise there!

BURUNDI -AFRICA
-- THE JUDICIARY APPROVES LAW TO FORCE REPORTERS TO REVEAL SOURCES -- Seen as a
move to really protect government officials and police etc, taking away Press
Freedom. Recent events have shown this country very fond of jailing journalists
(several).....they are also threatening reporters with financial penalties.
Rights Watch see it as the Law being able to nip in the bud any investigation
they see as harmful to the government by gagging reporters.

KENYA POLICE ACCUSED OF ABUSING
REFUGEES -- Human Rights Groups have accused the Kenyan Police of massive abuse
against Somali Refugees; that they indulged in rape, beatings and extorting
money from them. This happened when Kenyan Police arrested over a 1,000
asylum seekers from Somali.

KENYA'S POLICE ATTACK PROTESTORS ---
Citizens protesting about Politicians' wages were brutally beaten by Riot Police
in Nairobi. The aggressive cops set about beating 250 protestors with
batons, used tear gas and water cannons. The group of protestors were
outside Parliament when the squad of Riot Police came rushing at them.
Some people were seen to be bloodied after falling to the ground still being
beaten by police officers who continued hitting them mercilessly. It
is stated that Kenya's politicians are amongst the highest paid in the world
despite obvious poverty their citizens endure. Salaries such as $126,000
(£82,600) are paid to some MP's and middle ranking ones earn $78,500 (£51,500)
and at the lower scale salaries are $1,700.

KENYA'S DEPUTY PRESIDENT MUST ATTEND
HAGUE TRIAL -- He has been told that he must attend his own trial throughout
rather than pick and choose. Deputy President William Ruto was told by The
International Criminal Court that he cannot be excused unless the court grants
it. He is accused, along with President Uhuru Kenyatta of orchestrating
violence during the 2007 elections which resulted in 1,200 citizens being
killed.

MINISTER IN KENYA IS SACKED AFTER
MASSACRE --- More dark deeds in a country besotted by such evil and corruption.
Uhura Kenyatta sacked his Interior Minister after a massacre by Islamist gunmen
shot and beheaded 36 labourers......this being the second such massacre in less
than fourteen days. There has already been the resignation of the Police
Chief David Kimaaiyo.

NIGERIA - 10 GENERALS FOUND GUILTY
IN ARMS DEAL -- Ten army Generals were found guilty of giving arms
to Boko Haram, the leader of a gorilla band of extremists and providing
information. 15 other officers in the army are being tried at divisional
level.

NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT ACCUSED OF
COMMITTING WAR CRIMES -- Nigeria is said to be terrorising part of its
population and committing war crimes in its battle against Boko Haram.
Human Rights Investigators believe that 4,000 people have died while held
secretly in custody over the two year campaign to defeat Boko Haram. And
of course, the government deny the suggestion it acted unlawfully!

RWANDAN WAR CRIMES SUSPECT ARRESTED
-- Jean Leonard Teganya had already fled detection by going to Canada.....and it
was only after he tried to cross the border into the USA that a Border Patrolman
in Maine became very suspicious. He was duly arrested for walking into the
US illegally and detained. On further inquiries it was found that he was
on a list of suspected war criminals and will be handed over after the process
for his removal from the United States has been formalised.

KENYA PARLIAMENT IN BUST-UP WITH
CIVIL RIGHTS -- A debate in Parliament about changes to the civil rights
'in the interests of security' led to a brawl between legislators. It is
said opposition MP's threw bill papers on the floor while rivals fought each
other.... all aired on live TV.

'The
Cousins Down Under or the influences of transportation'

AUSTRALIAN POLICE
CORRUPTION COMES UNDER THE SPOTLIGHT --- A new article coming out of the UK's
near relative says ' The mire of bent cops and drug connections ' surrounds a
huge enquiry into the Gold Coast Investigations. 20 police officers are being
forced to give evidence about corrupt colleagues concerning activities of police
officers in this region. The CMC have ordered officers to cooperate with the
current investigation which has numerous officers under investigation. It is
said to be the biggest scandal since the Fitzgerald Inquiry in Queensland.
Victoria in New South Wales was rocked by a scandal when the ' Beach Inquiry' of
75-76 netted 55 police officers who were charged with corruption. 42 were
actually prosecuted, but none were convicted? despite public calls for a Royal
Commission which never happened. In other news Senior Detective Dave Miehel was
arrested for trying to steal $1.3million worth of drugs, and Officer Paul Noel
Dale was charged with conspiracy.

THE VICTORIA
POLICE SCANDAL 1990 - 2005 - FIFTEEN YEARS OF POLICE CORRUPTION - The Director
of the OPI Office of Police Integrity, an off-shoot of the Ombudsman's Office,
Mr.Brouwer, said they had uncovered corruption when he was interviewed by the
Australian Newspaper The Herald Sun. He said the OPI are forcing cops under
suspicion to hand over documents in connection with ' theft while executing
search warrants, drug dealing and intimidation' (just a sample of the offences)
in gathering evidence on police misconduct. He said that 136 summonses had been
issued on police officers. A separate investigation centres on 40 cases of
police corruption, and another 50 are to be quizzed over unexplained assets of
millions of dollars. West Australia Police Commissioner Bob Falconer was
accused of serious corruption in Victoria in the 1990's when he was Chief of
Police Internal Investigations. 'The Hoser Files' a book published highlighting
police corruption by author Robert Hoser was illegally banned by the police
following their intimidation of booksellers who were prepared to stock it.
Luckily, their coercive ban backfired and what they didn't want known is now
public. Interestingly in the face of this rising police corruption, the
government rejected a Royal Commission in 2004 and were only prepared to let the
OPI investigate the allegations. Mr Stewart, a Senior Legal figure who
previously conducted three Royal Commissions into crime, said ' Victoria has
failed to address police corruption in 2005, and it is now at its highest level
ever ' Former Supreme Court Judge Don Stewart came out against the force by
openly saying ' the Victoria Police and Bracks Labor Government oppose
investigation by a Royal Commission because they do not want the extent of
corruption within the force being revealed.'

THE MELBOURNE
CORRUPT COPS --- Simon Illingworth spent just over seventeen years trying to
expose the corrupt police in Melbourne who take bribes from the gangsters. At
38, he admits that once he started to go after these cops that the risk factor
became high. At first he thought he was only just looking at a small number of
cops that had turned bad, but this situation only got bigger as he researched
and checked incidents that finally led to files being kept and records of what
was taking place between cops and the gang-leaders. On realising what he had
uncovered he made the decision to write a book and expose the cops and robbers
of Melbourne.

THE CORRUPT COPS
IN NEW SOUTH WALES -- Another cover-up detected, as a new inquiry in ' shot dead
man case' reveals that Police officers of the New South Wales Division misled
the Public and Senior Officers concerning an incident when Sergeant Sheree
Bissett shot a man in the back, (Mr Adam Salter). Not only did the cops at that
division cover it up, but it then led the force failing to investigate the
findings of a cover-up -- despite having known about it for ten months. A new
hearing has been called into investigating -- as it now suggests that accounts
by other officers given at the time were 'wrong' and that false information was
given out to avoid public criticism? The coroner suggested there was misconduct
involved....which more or less exposes corruption from the ranks and up to the
senior posts in the police with Government doing nothing until the story goes
public ( a case of the usual passive resistance in the hope it will never be
known about). (A 2012 Case)

THE CHILD ABUSE
SCANDAL IN AUSTRALIA -- The Cover-up involving the Church, and the state's
reluctance to own up.. A Corruption that Australia must not be allowed to brush
aside or forget.....There was an investigation into abuse at boys detention
centres from 1911 to 1990 which suffered many interruptions in its passage
mainly by certain officials wanting it stopped, as some feared that it might
lead to the arrest of prominent figures who had been at those centres. Even
though reports related to excessive uses of corporal punishment, there was no
focus on that aspect of the abuse. In 1998 The Queensland Commission of Enquiry
examined child abuse at more than 150 orphanages run by the Christian Brothers,
what emerged was horrifying cruelty and sexual perversion sadistically mounted
on young boys....kept hidden and denied by the Church and Government alike.

The
Orphanage School at Picton in New South Wales -- Eric Leonard aged 11 recalled
the hard work the boys were forced to do under the threat of a whipping if it
wasn't done right -- Carers were not allowed to be friendly or show compassion
for children. The cane was frequently used and even a joke ended up with a boy
being bent over for 8 strokes. Runaways were severely thrashed in front of
everyone and given 10 strokes of the cane. Kevin who was 15, remembers his
orphanage school in the 1950's run by The Catholic Church, corporal punishment;
a bamboo cane called 'the swish' was used everyday and was feared by every boy
regardless of age. Some Priests used heavy punishment straps mostly when a boy
was taken into their rooms; it was done on the bare bottom. What happened at
night you didn't dare talk about because you knew some of your pals were being
sexually messed about with. You couldn't even approach the nuns, they didn't
care. Barry Reamsbottom, was at an Orphanage School in Stonehaven Road,
Queensland, -- it was at the end of a very long track. He remembered 35 boys
being caned for talking on his first day there. They had to clean and polish
floors and work long hours. At bath time, a communal thing, bruises and welts on
bottoms was a common site, but you never asked why!

We now
move onto the final inclusion for this article as it would not be right to miss
out the most infamous Orphanage most children in Australia came to know and
fear. Bindoon Boys’ Town, the Catholic run home for boys controlled by Brother
Paul Keaney, a former policeman whose capability for brutality equalled his
attitude to boys in his care. One young boy named Lionel Welsh remembers the
regular beatings he got at the school when you talked out of turn or even too
loudly. For Brother Paul this was a crime that had to be punished, and he would
read out the crime before having the lad come forward. The boy would have to
lower his shorts to his feet and drop his underpants before bending over.
Keaney would then lift up the shirt-tail and lift it clear of the buttocks and
raise the strap high and well back before bringing it down hard across the
quivering cheeks. No boy was tough enough to endure it without tears, and if he
moved or flinched he would get an extra stroke each time. Lionel Welsh later
wrote about his experiences and memories of Bindoon in a book called ‘ Orphan of
the Empire’ 1990. Another boy named Des, who met with Lionel, confirmed
the state of Catholic care, as he went to Clontarf Catholic Boys’ Home in
Perth. He too was beaten many times. He recalled the 14-hour days of work
which only a small part was school. The Brothers made all the boys work hard or
else you got a hiding he said.

NB:
132,000 Children were shipped off from Britain to Australia, most were told they
had no mothers or fathers, which was often false information......it took the
Australian Government 25 years to apologise, and even that was forced by events
and was not sincere. The British Government were equally guilty but again would
not admit fault and wilfully obstructed every investigation in partnership with
Australia. A Major Film release in 2010 called ' Oranges and Sunshine ' focused
on the struggle to expose the abuse.....and should be seen........it's only then
you will realise the horror....and see the opposition to this story coming out
by the Australian Government. (look for a DVD on Amazon
and order it)

AUSTRALIA'S
ABORIGINE SCANDAL -- Another blot in the History of a Government that made
violent attempts to rid themselves of the native Aborigines. They were shunned
like 'the blacks and negro's' just as the American's did, put into slavery, and
the law of the land often beat them and hanged many at the slightest excuse,
some did it for just the sadistic pleasure it gave them, without repercussions
or being charged with any offence. Killing them was seen as doing the country a
favour! Australia like others preferred to forget this episode and hairbrush it
out of History...but this they will never do, and must not be allowed to either.
THE ABORIGINES GENOCIDE is something the Australians do not like to talk about.
White Australians were guilty of mass genocide of the native aborigines but
prefer not to admit it in favour of terminology like - pacifying, cleansing,
shooting, beheading, exiling, exterminating and removal. They pretend not to be
connected to it in any way or having taken part in the killings and mistreatment
of these people. The Australians on this subject, shun away from accusations of
their acts being compared to the Nazis in Germany. British Colonisation was in
1803. Even in the final chapters of the survivors these people were lied to --
being promised if they surrender they would get their lands back -- it never
happened and it wasn't going to happen. The White Australian Politically
Correct hide the underlying racism, because it is forbidden in public,
especially with the World watching these days. In 2008, Prime Minister Kevin
Rudd made a 'sort of apology' in that he was 'sorry' for the 'stolen
generations' in the hope of quietening the issue and long remembered scandal ---
after 220 years!! But they didn't actually mean it, as a Compensation Motion
was booted out by the government, 65 to 4 shortly after his apology fiasco.

AUSTRALIA'S SECRET OF THE
ABUSE OF THE ABORIGINES -- John Pilger, top journalist and born in Australia
says that his love for the country cannot justify keeping its human rights
abuses a secret, and must be exposed. These natives of the Real Australia
before the 'Whites' arrived from Britain etc, were wiped out and had their land
stolen by the new 'masters' intent on secrecy and distorting the truth from the
prying eyes of outsiders. They actively engaged in cover-ups and denied
that atrocities had ever happened. Australia has a society with a deeply
racist past, which lurks beneath the surface and is in the main, kept hidden.
The Internet has now made it harder for them to conceal and the world's
do-gooders motto of 'let's get integrated' has pushed these racists into hiding
so that it can now appear on the surface as 'a decent nation' dedicated to
'human rights'....which of course is not entirely true. Much of what
happened to the native Aborigines 'court wise and official' was in fact
conveniently destroyed or disposed of by government officials and the legal
profession. But one rare court record escaped and is in existence, much
copied by historians and analysts who have secured its exposure and place in
Australia's 'criminal past' It mentions that 28
Aborigines taken prisoner in 1838, were tied up and slaughtered by order of the
court. Other records unearthed showed that the authorities often used the
official word 'dispersal' in documents, often hoodwinking people into thinking
it meant taken to or given more suitable surroundings etc, was actually the word
for 'mass extermination' in regard to Australian Blacks.
Even the Army were keen to destroy documents, but some got out and are known of
such as -- they used chemical weapons when they found themselves outnumbered by
the Aborigines (even though they only had spears, knives and bows)..... soldiers
poisoned the natives on mass using strychnine phosphorus and arsenic. In
one journal by a Queensland Government Official the comment said ' It'll keep
the niggers quiet' The authorities had a special colonial army
formed to annihilate the blacks -- likened to Hitler's Einsatzgruppen, who used
Snider rifles capable of tearing apart a man's body because of the wide bore and
calibre. At the recorded Incident called 'Skull Gorge' the special army
trapped and slaughtered innocent men, women and children.

AUSTRALIA'S
SHAMEFUL POLICY TOWARDS THE ABORIGINES: The Australian Government led by John
Howard slashed the Aboriginal Affairs Budget by a staggering $A400 million
dollars, and executed this move quite casually and without any feelings for
these people. CUSTODY DEATHS - At this time it was recorded that 58 per cent of
Aboriginal youths and juveniles were in police and prison detention, and many
received regular beatings akin to torture, and most of this was covered up by
the police and government with the aid of the Judiciary. Neglect at that time
was considered a standard police procedure. A Royal Commission looking into the
abuses committed against the Aborigines cost in the region of $A30 million
dollars over a two year period. They made 339 recommendations, none of which
called for criminal charges to be brought against the police or prison
officers. Even in 1996, a photograph, followed by others appeared in the
National Newspapers showing a series of photos showing NEW SOUTH WALES POLICE
officers at a party with made up black faces and wearing mock nooses around
their necks -- portraying detained Aborigines who had suffered and died in
Police Custody, NO ACTION was taken against them.......the government preferred
to look the other way.....just as it had done in other shameful circumstances.

AUSTRALIAN COURT
SYSTEM TARGETS ABORIGINAL CHILDREN --- Similar to the US who would often put
down and punish the blacks because they thought them inferior, The Australian
Court System has been exposed as imposing harsh sentences on the Aboriginal
youth. One boy who it was said stole a packet of hamburger buns received a 12
month detention...confirming statistics that showed a bias toward the
Aborigines. Davies, the 17yr old had no previous convictions when he appeared
before magistrates.....yet aboriginal children are jailed at 31 times the rate
of their white counterparts. In another case Laurence Boney 17, from New South
Wales got 12 months for a small cannabis charge....two other Aboriginal children
were dealt with similarly. Even in the early times, the whipping of young
Aborigines was ordered, whereas the white boys received a ticking off. Stephen
Lawrence of the Aboriginal Legal Service said that the courts regularly impose
extraordinarily harsh sentences that cannot be justified under state sentencing
law.

ROTTNEST PRISON -- THE HORRORS --
Another scandal that Australia would rather forget, let atone for... in fact it
has been 'hair-brushed out' by the new Government (2012).... the notorious
concentration prison camp is now a sort of leisure hotel.....holiday camp
style.... with former cells (where people were tortured and killed) made into
chalet rooms at $240 dollars a night. This horror site was called THE QUAD
and 1000's of Aborigine boys and men were tortured and killed.
Rottnest Island as it was referred to hid the atrocities from the mainland of
Western Australia. White Australians still believe in a sort of apartheid
without actually saying it..one interviewer approached an Australian family in
the street, and all went well until he asked them if they knew Australia was
stolen from the Aborigines.... and they immediately walked away. (the
prison was built by the British)

A Minister said the Justice system
failed badly over an incarcerated black man who was 'cooked to death' in a cell
with just one air vent above the door... the coroner was appalled. In
another instance footage was shown of a police station in the Northern
Territory, a young Aborigine was being roughly manhandled by police even though
he had done nothing wrong....but a little worse for wear because of drink....the
police said they'd taken him into custody for his own protection! ........ when
in fact, he needed protection from them.

Then there was the awful case of
Eddy Murray who died in custody... his sternum was badly damaged from a
blow..... they claimed he did it himself......however, a Royal Commission
examining the case said the police had committed perjury, falsified records and
lied consistently........ no police officer was ever charged!

Finally.....2012, and the Justice
Dept and Prisons are now 'stacking and racking' prisoners similar to the way the
slave ships did........ and those prisoners are predominantly
Aborigines........Justice Denied....this is Australia.

NEW SOUTH WALES
CASE -- WHAT THE STATE DID -- Barry Hart was subjected to all sorts of medical
traumas and tests, which were kept silent by the Australian Government -- This
was exposed when Barry won his case for 'false imprisonment, assault and
battery' against the state's Chelmsford Hospital. Sadly, due to the Judge who he
feels deliberately steered away the jury from making the state's role more of an
issue, made the verdict empty thus causing or misleading the jury into thinking
they were compensating him for injuries and only made the financial award of
$36,000. He says the solicitors and judges were acting against natural justice
and had a agenda that was government led. see more on
www.molestedcatholics.com
Australian Legal System corrupt.

AUSTRALIAN
GOVERNMENT TRY TO SILENCE CORRUPTION WHISTLEBLOWER -- The Australian Government
failed to censor the Internet in an attempt to gag and suppress hidden facts
being made public on the web. It appears they went to great lengths to keep the
truth secret and knock out as many websites as they could to hide behind a web
of deceit. They were gunning for Raymond Hoser who revealed the Victoria police
scandal, an investigative website owner who regularly gets under their skin to
expose corruption that pervades public ideals and runs all the way up to the
government. They were outraged when he exposed the Tax Directorate Terry
O'Keefe, the lies and dirty dealings etc, MP Victor Perton took a more personal
dislike to snoopers like Hoser and tried to coerce the Internet via ISP's to
wipe out his sites and associated sites. Hoser seeing that he was getting in the
way of truth being out there! switched ISP's to the USA where Australia had no
legal jurisdiction and he was taken to court several times as the government
used the familiar ' We've been defamed' much like the tactics Singapore and
China use to silence critics etc, They even falsified criminal charges against
him in a bid to get him off their back. But Hoser continued exposing corruption,
notably corruption in the Carr Government -- more of this can be seen at the
link
www.smuggled.com
and there is more at another site called
www.kangaroocourtofaustralia.com

THE WHEAT BOARD
BRIBERY SCANDAL indicates more corruption destined to be kept hidden from the
people and world no doubt. Whistleblowers discovered secret and restricted
intelligence reports and communications between various Australian Embassies,
Trade Officials, the UN, Public Servants and the Australian Prime Minister.
www.thecheers.org
revealed the story of Ministers, Mark Vaile and Alexander Downer, who in a memo
claimed no one will ever find out anyway!

THE CORPORATE
FRAUD item came up with an expose on Labour MP Craig Thomson who it is stated
was involved in a $17 million dollar fraud involving contract tenders and
transactions in the Federal Government of Canberra. The police it says are paid
to bungle investigations and judges bribed to throw out cases against Corporate
Directors in case the country is affected by economic loss on a huge scale.

THE BIGGEST
INSIDE ROBBERY IN AUSTRALIA -- Was orchestrated by one of the country's
upstanding and fine citizens, one Corporate crook, ALAN BOND who built a 'Paper
Empire' owing the Government 14 Billion dollars. He was finally imprisoned for
a 'moderate' 3 years, but not before he siphoned off a billion dollars with the
help of Corporate Aides and people in 'high places'

AUSTRALIAN
REFUGEE POLICY EXPOSES NASTY DETENTION METHODS --- Australia's detention policy
on refugees has suffered a blow as Lawyer David Manne has launched a case
against the government on its mandatory handling of boat people who remain
behind bars because they are deemed a threat to the community by the Immigration
Authorities. He says they they are taking arbitrary decisions, mostly based on
self-preservation and a dislike of foreigners. 'It is like a secret trial, we
don't know the process, we don't know the rules, its all down to secret
assessments. It's a denial of natural justice to lock them up indefinitely, and
possibly forever.' One man was locked away for three years after an adverse
ruling, and the Australian Government haven't told him why? The glib phrase by
officials say 'It's in the interest of National Security?'

AUSTRALIAN
CUSTOMS/NAVY GUARD HIDES IDENTITY AS HE FIRES ON BOAT -- It was notable that one
officer on a patrol boat masked himself to avoid identity as he prepared to man
the machine gun and shoot towards a Indonesian boat in Australian waters.
There's something typical about legality when it wishes to conceal, and
Australians are no strangers to deception. Its Government pretend to be open and
law abiding, but it is even harder to find truth in what they do. Politicians
are corrupt and if one digs beneath the surface, there are many who have their
fingers in the till.

AUSTRALIAN
GOVERNMENT PAYOUT $3.25 MILLION DOLLARS OVER WRONGFUL CONVICTION -- Andrew
Mallard was kept in prison for 12 years from 1994 -- 2006 for a crime he did not
commit...which happened in Perth. The murder charge was found to be tainted and
THE SENIOR LEGAL PROSECUTOR WAS FINED $10,000 DOLLARS FOR MISCONDUCT in the
case. Despite having freed him in 2006 it took the state three years to finally
pay compensation for their wrong-doing -- The West Australian Government made a
settlement of $3.25 million dollars (hoping to make up for taking away the man's
liberty and subjecting him to the harsh prison regime). No other official was
brought to justice over this and to this day, Australia hides behind its laws in
the pretence that they are fair and just.

AUSTRALIAN COPS
CHARGED OVER DEATH -- Five Police Officers from the Tongan Region were charged
with manslaughter. It originally contained three officers on the serious charge
until a judge said that 'assault' with two others must be upgraded to
manslaughter. An Inspector and four constables are charged with causing the
death of New Zealand Police Officer Kali Fungavaka in custody. The details of
why they killed the fellow police officer from another country on a visit is not
known. Speculation suggests corruption -- to the victim having discovered
something he should not have witnessed.....which led to five officers conspiring
to commit the crime.

AUSTRALIA IN
BREACH OF HUMAN RIGHTS INVOLVING 'Child Abuse ' --- Children were locked up in
jail and for convenience; counted as adults to satisfy Customs Staff consciences
-- Catherine Branson Of The Human Rights Commission said there were 180 under
age Indonesians being held and thrown into prison by the Australian Authorities
during 2008 - 2011. The Australian Authorities and Customs Branch along with
Immigration Officials, were reluctant to comment on their treatment of the
children locked up. Ms Branson said ' The Government should apologise for
breaking the Human Rights Treaty ' but are apparently not prepared to do so. --
This has similarities to the 'Child Abuse Scandal of Australia ' already
featured where it took the Australian Government many years to apologise, and
that only happened as they were brought 'kicking and screaming' into the court.

AUSTRALIAN COPS COLLUDE AND LIE --
This is yet another case where CCTV nabs the police and shows them assaulting a
suspect and then following it up with fabricated charges against the person
they've kicked and punched. Police like this always feel sure they can get
away with it because 'nobody is allowed to impugn the respect of law and order'
so governments believe (like neighbouring Singapore)....even when video evidence
is shown the government will take every measure to distort the obvious until
they have no way to turn and then suddenly claim 'rogue incident' The
incident shown on the Internet shows FIVE POLICE OFFICERS kicking and punching
suspect 22yr old Corey Barker (Aborigine) as he lays on the floor of Ballina
Police Station. Strangely as a Public Prosecutor pointed out ' the CCTV
tape was damaged?...and was not found or given up immediately. The report
claims only THREE OFFICERS have been held for perjury after submitting false
testimony, those officers are Senior Constable Ryan Eckersley, Constable Lee
Walmseley and Senior Constable David Hill....the other two are nowhere to be
found? despite aiding and abetting the crime. These police actually took
the young man to trial on their colluded evidence....the court threw out the
case as they should and ordered the police to pay $30,000 to Barker's legal
costs. The Cops lied under oath and colluded with everyone in that room,
and that was five cops.....the Commission says that a Corruption Inquiry was
launched (2012), but so far we haven't seen these cops jailed or charged....we
have looked for the outcome, but its absence is deafening!

AUSTRALIAN
CUSTOMS ARE GIVEN EXEMPTION OVER CRIMES --- Human Rights abuses are common in
Australia, most are hidden from public gaze due to Government interference and
local law enforcement who are paid to eradicate the problem or hassle the
whistle-blower. What is so amazing is that they are blatant hypocrites as they
often declare themselves to be supporters to the Treaty, and readily accuse
other countries. The Australian Government are founded on criminals and
transportation; something they don't like being reminded of!...One woman
Australian was recently seen being pushed to the limit by Customs Officials who
searched not only her belongings but also intimately too...yet found
nothing....they neither apologised or paid compensation. They cannot be taken to
court because they are a 'protected species' (a very UK thing) because the law
favours the government -- a government seriously flawed by corruption in its
administration and police service.

THE AUSTRALIAN
BORDER OFFICIALS CORRUPTION CASE 2010 -- 24 Customs and Border Officials are
under investigation for misconduct and on suspicion of corruption. The report
says a joint Federal and State Inquiry into Organised Crime in the area of New
South Wales, has been ordered to look into officials who are being paid by Crime
Syndicates to co-operate in the smuggling of shipments of drugs. The Customs
Department has already suspended or dismissed 15 officers over corruption and
misconduct.

AUSTRALIAN
CUSTOMS ARE HIT BY ANOTHER CORRUPTION SCANDAL -- The Australian Government has
announced that it must look thoroughly into the Customs Service after eight
people were arrested in a corruption investigation linked to an alleged drugs
ring at Sidney Airport. A Spokesperson said an overhaul of the system was now
needed in the light of two customs officers and a Quarantine Official being
arrested in the eight suspects, they further indicated that more arrests were
expected in connection with the Customs. (2012)

AUSTRALIAN
GOVERNMENT AND SEX SCANDALS --- Legal Law Maker and Politician Craig Thomson is
set to cause Australia another scandal -- Canberra 2011 -- It is said that he
misused a credit card to pay for a prostitute -- a conviction for theft or fraud
would force him to quit the government -- severely embarrassing Prime Minister
Julia Gillard. It is said that Thomson went into denials and damage limitation
mode explaining that an unknown individual had taken his credit card and forged
his signature? -- following up quickly, he tried to silence a newspaper
belonging to the Fairfax Media -- but dropped the court action before the
hearing. But, he has now been too late to stop the police investigation which
has been started because of new evidence being supplied by an opposition
senator.

Another Political
Sex Scandal -- The Porn Scandal hit the Internet in 2010 concerning Fred Nile of
the New South Wales Australian State Government -- Christian Democratic Party,
who is said to have been visiting many adult websites -- it was mentioned as
200,000 --- Minister Paul McLeay resigned over his porn scandal.

Sex Scandals and
Politicians -- Two Australian Labour MP's Keith Wright and Bill D'Arcy went to
prison for sexual offences linked to underage girls.
www.wataday.com.au
gives us an insight into politics, sex scandals and fraud featuring eleven
incidents over recent years.

Policeman guilty in sex film case --
A New South Wales Police O0fficer, Marc Osborn was convicted on three counts of
filming a person engaged in a private act without their permission for sexual
gratification. He did this by using a 'pinhole camera' in a clock which
was positioned to take film of sexual acts on his bed unknown to those who were
there. He then proceeded to download the finished film on to is ipod and
passed it around to fellow police officers in the station.....33 such acts were
found on his device, it was only when a 'brave' colleague reported what was
going on that Osborn was hauled up before Senior Officers; he now faces
dismissal the report says.

ANOTHER SCANDAL
AND MORE ABUSES - AUSTRALIA'S CRUEL AND DEGRADING ASYLUM CAMPS -- Nauru in the
Pacific Territory hides away another Australian Government scandal -- Amnesty
have described conditions at the camp as ' cruel and degrading' saying the
conditions are inhumane, this comes as frequent Asia Reports tell of Australia
deterring Asylum Seekers in their coastal waters in every way they can, those
often being mass arrests. It is said Nauru is only one inadequate camp, there
is another on the Manus Island of Papua New Guinea. Officials in Australia are
glibly saying that it may take them 5 years to process the Asylum seekers
claims. The Government in answer to Amnesty made one of those tired 'colonial'
responses and attacked Amnesty rather than own up to their own faults -- 'they
said they were not surprised that Amnesty did not agree with the Processing
Centre - their opposition to us was established long before the facility was!'

AUSTRALIA'S ABUSE
IN ARMED FORCES OVER 60 YEARS -- Much being sexual abuse, has surfaced causing
the Minister to say 'sorry' in a broadcast. Australia's Government and Commander
of its Defence Force apologised to the hundreds of victims that suffered abuse
and mistreatment within the Military, finally allowing the way for these people
to launch their claims for compensation. 1,000 people came forward with
allegations of abuse which had gone on for almost 60 years without ever being
taken seriously or even recognised....such was the scale of secrecy within the
top brass of the Services and Government Officials who tidied this secret into
the drawer marked ' not to be seen by the public' A report says two cadets have
been charged at the Defence Academy, one of an indecent act, and the other being
the secret filming of a female cadet which was posted on the Internet. Even the
Navy have fallen foul of this report and it has been revealed that they are now
being investigated over 'sex games' regularly engaged in. Lawyers for the
victims say they found 775 'plausible allegations of abuse and mistreatment'
There are now calls for a 'wider' investigation!

THE AUSTRALIAN
SPORTS DRUG TAKING SCANDAL -- Yet another scandal that seems to have caught this
country unaware? Like its child abuse scandal, Australia have only just
realised that their country's athletes have been doing enhancing performing
drugs in order to win on the International Sports Arena. It was revealed that
doctors have assisted this, and that it has organised crime behind it
(Match-Fixing). Team coaches have been included in the frame as the
investigation is set to reveal a large scale situation. A Minister said that
they had 100 cases so far to deal with. He said that they will pursue and catch
those involved and they will be brought to justice. It was stated that this was
a part of a one year investigation by the Australian Crime Commission.

THE AUSTRALIAN
SWIMMING TEAM SCANDAL -- Yet more embarrassment for this country....as it was
discovered that former Olympic Swimmers attending the London event in 2012 were
engaging in disruptive behaviour, which included prank calls while they were in
Manchester, and taking the pills - Stilnox. The team apparently did badly at
the Games.....Swimmers James Magnusson, Eamon Sullivan and Cameron McEvoy
admitted they had got up to silly things. Allegations of bullying had already
been reported, and Swimming Australia, had received reports and were launching
an investigation into the culture of the National Swimming Team. It was said two
swimmers kept their body hair they'd shaved off before the competition and
scattered it in the beds and luggage of other swimmers at the event.

AUSTRALIA IN THE
BUSINESS OF CURBING FREE SPEECH --- Yet another so called free country doing one
thing and insisting the public do another. Australian Internet Civil Liberties
Lobby Group Electronic Frontiers Australia said woefully, ' we don't have a
constitutional right to free speech in Australia, like the USA '

AUSTRALIAN
CUSTOMS QUESTION 'BRIT'S' RIGHT TO ENTER COUNTRY? -- Why? because he had a
criminal record, and they questioned whether he was fit and proper enough to be
allowed to stay in Australia. Rather rich this, seeing as most Aussies were
descended from convicts sent by Britain to languish in Australia for crimes
committed in the UK. (featured in one of their televised Border Patrol and
Customs Propaganda TV Series)

AUSTRALIA HIDES THE TRUTH -- Much of
its past has been hidden and re-written to look legitimate. Different
Governments have indulged in 'secrecy' and denial, and fooled most of the people
for most of the time. It is not an 'honest' country nor interested in
transparency at all, each successive government have covered-up the many
scandals that would have shocked the International Community. Financial
and power have corrupted the police force for several years, and chiefs have
made deals to have the damage limited so that the truth will not come out.
We hear from journalists who tell us that they have been threatened and had
their offices broken into when they've been investigating cops and government.

Further to the above, our contact in
Australia has sent us 'memos' that show that some courts on behalf of the
Australian Government have acted illegally. Cases against the Government
have been circumvented and Law Makers have fabricated and altered documents,
including lying on oath. We can also see that the authorities have
deliberately 'thwarted' claimants and interfered with cases in order to prevent
a payout (one payout estimated at around thirty million dollars).....a line says
that 'this payout must be prevented as it could cause the government and
taxpayer too much and lead to a public inquiry, not to mention the opening of
flood gates and many other large financial claims that would seriously affect
the insurance liability which must be capped'

AUSTRALIA CAUGHT SPYING -- As
Australia sits back looking innocent on the world stage everything changes as
they take a seat in the spying game. Their neighbours in the North, Indonesia
(riddled with corruption) have recalled their envoy after finding out that
Australia's spy agency have been tapping the mobile phones of top officials
including the Indonesian President and his wife. This comes immediately on
the back of 'friction' between the countries over asylum boats and asylum
seekers. This arrived as Whistleblower Edward Snowden released secret
documents revealing what the spy agency was doing in Australia.

AUSTRALIAN LAWYER IN RACIAL ABUSE
CASE --- Struck off for misconduct, Lawyer Megan Maree in de Braekt was found
guilty by a court and fined $15,000 dollars as a result of an incident in 2009
when she deliberately insulted a Singaporean Security Officer at the Court.
She told him to go back to where he came from, and that he had 'short man
syndrome' when he demanded that she had to be searched when entering the Central
Law Court in Perth. It was said by the Law society that the lawyer had a
history of abusing officers!

HEROIN HAUL GRABBED ON WAY TO
AUSTRALIA -- A £55 Million drug haul from Thailand was seized on its way to
Australia. It was reported that there was 147 kilograms of heroin worth a
street value of £55 million... there were 420 packets hidden in frozen seafood
containers.

ILL-TREATMENT CLAIMS LEVELLED AT
AUSTRALIA -- Sri-Lankan asylum seekers have accused the Australian
authorities of mistreatment since returning to their island nation.
Australia acted indignantly to this claim saying it was 'offensive'
37 Sinhalese and four Tamil asylum seekers said they were ill-treated by
Australian Customs Officials......The Sri-Lankan group have told others to stay
away from Australia..........definitely good advice!

AUSTRALIA -- INVESTORS SEEK $20
MILLION SETTLEMENT --- 2,000 Investors who were victims in a collapsed
investment scheme. Lawyers representing them are fighting to get a
$2million settlement with Bendigo & Adelaide Bank overturned by the Victoria
Supreme Court.

SIEGE VICTIM GETS KILLED BY POLICE
BULLET -- It emerged amid the police response of 'we cannot comment' that
Katrina Dawson held hostage by gunman Man Haron Monis was shot by a police
officer at the scene when officers stormed the building. In the initial
investigation it was found that as the Tactical Operations Unit moved in to
storm the Lindt Cafe in Sydney and suggestions say the bullet ricocheted,
Katrina Dawson died of her injuries, but as the investigations are ongoing - the
police now remain 'tightlipped'

NB: Like many of
the Governments and countries we feature, they do not mind having good publicity
reported but go to enormous lengths including legal to have bad incidents
eradicated or removed in case it damages its International Reputation.....which
of course is built on a false premise complete with lies and corruption!

A FRIENDLY LOT
THESE AUSTRALIANS?? NO WAY--- forget 'Neighbours and Ramsey St' -- its fiction.

We shall follow
the thread of the above and come back with more, especially in the light of this
country being more corrupt than at first thought. Corruption is on the up and
the public are often right in there themselves.

' Canada in
the spotlight '

'
Canadian Cops can get away with Perjury '

We now finally have CANADA in our list --- It now appears that four Canadian
Police Officers; one of whom is Constable Bill Bentley, can walk away from 28
allegations of misconduct and perjury, according to a 'leaked' confidential
document obtained by CBC NEWS. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police
represented by Senior Lawyer Len Doust says ' While it might seem a troubling
concern for the officers involved despite their testimony conflicting and
puzzling to to others, it does not always amount to perjury -- especially when
entered into the legal arena in the court ' This case which
began with the death of suspect Robert Dziekanski in 2007 at the hands of four
police officers has had its useful delays for the police and defence fully
exploited by their legal team despite a Special Prosecutor indicting the four
cops for misleading attempts to dispense with the case against them. Len
Doust made it clear that 'foggy recollections and hazy suggestions by witnesses
can easily be wiped out because of the time situation....what somebody thought
happened then cannot be that clear now' Many are waiting for the case to
return to the court, as they seem to be predicting a 'whitewash' by the court
and police.

'Montreal's Mayor is arrested for Fraud '

THE POLICE ARRESTED Michael Applebaum, the Mayor of Montreal in a corruption
investigation. The News report would only say that the Mayor was arrested
on fraud charges and full details of any crimes were not available to the public
or Press.

It is said that the former Mayor Gerald Tremblay resigned amid corruption
claims.

Other information in relation to the above says that this relates to Property
Development Projects in 2006/2011.

' Toronto Mayor filmed smoking crack '

MAYOR ROB FORD appears on a video that the police discovered, smoking pot (Crack
Cocaine)......this video evidence is said to have come from his computer
according to Chief of Police Bill Blair in Toronto. Although there was not
enough evidence to press charges, the Mayor's driver and friend, Alexander Lisi
is to go on trial facing drug and extortion charges. It states that the
Police Chief was 'disappointed not to have found more'

'Canada caught up in Paedophile Ring Arrests'

CANADIAN POLICE obviously knew when they undertook the huge investigation in
child porn and paedophiles that they would net a considerable amount of citizens
from their own country. They grabbed 108 as they made their action felt in
Toronto arresting people in the child-porn network which hosts the sex film
business. They arrested hundreds of individuals some in law enforcement,
the teaching profession and clergy. The Scoop not only took into
consideration Canada, but the US, Hong Kong, Spain, Australia, the UK and
Mexico. 76 were arrested in the USA alone....Brian Way of Azov Films in
Toronto was arrested on soliciting and distributing vast volumes of sex material
featuring underage boys.

' A look into
other reported evils and human rights violations '

DUBAI POLICE IN
COVER-UP OVER BRITON BEATEN TO DEATH IN A POLICE CELL --- The family of the man
beaten up in a Dubai police cell have made a formal accusation in connection
with this, saying the cops are instigating a cover-up. The Dubai Authorities
entered into the cover-up by saying the man, a British citizen had died of
natural causes, but this flew in the face of witnesses who saw him being beaten
by police. Inmates said that Mr. Brown, a maintenance worker, who was arrested
for swearing and alleged assault, was stripped naked by the cops and handcuffed
to a chair, and was badly beaten by six police officers who looked to be
enjoying themselves (a common element found in this type of accusation). They
then put him away in a solitary cell, where he was found three days later ----
dead. To make matters worse -- the Dubai Attorney General Elsam Al Humaidan has
fabricated a fancy story of a 'cannabis' connection and other nonsense to save
face, and the authorities are having to be pressurised into giving the facts,
which they clearly do not want known.

DUBAI -- POLICE
TORTURE AND BEAT BRITISH TOURISTS -- Three British visitors found to have had
small quantities of cannabis say they were beaten and tortured in a police jail,
and that some of the torture was of an 'electrocution nature' Grant Cameron,
Karl Williams and Suneet Jeerh from the London Area, were arrested while on
holiday....the men in their twenties claim they were forced to sign 'Arabic
Documents' they could not read (False Confessions), whilst being threatened and
beaten. The Dubai Police denied this to lawyers acting for the men, but these
words mean nothing, as it has long been known that this country thinks very
little of either Human Rights or punishing people way ahead of any
trial.......police in this area are known for 'confessions'

EGYPT -- SAUDI
ARABIA -- AND THE ATROCITIES OF LAW -- One must not rule the Saudi's out of the
big bad nations, they too are barbaric as we are about to show. Thousands are
held without trial and denied visitors, Human Rights Activists are constantly
notching up the list this nation does in barbaric practises. At Cairo there is
new prison with fifteen foot thick walls, ordered under the instructions of
President Mubarak, which holds 17,000 men. Torture goes on here and is well
documented, 20 prisoners in Section 4 of Block 2H were stripped naked and
flogged with canes because a soldier discovered a pocket radio and a watch on
one inmate, Gamal Osman, a medical student.

EGYPT'S ARREST OF NEWS TEAM SUGGESTS
COVER-UP --- Egypt arrested a journalist News team because they hadn't permits
to record the atrocities going on. This shows they which to conceal this
and control the lies they issue in the International Community. When a
country closes the door of truth it inevitably rules by fear and Egypt are
obviously doing this.

EGYPT PASSES NEW ANTI-PROTEST LAW to
silence all comers.... and has started with a trial with 24 people who it says
has broke the new law. Suppression by law isn't new to these
countries.....Egypt looks to the past and protects the wealthy who hold the
power. Alaa Abdel Fattah was arrested in November for 'protesting without
the permission of the Authorities' (Singapore has a similar law in order
to suppress critics etc)

EGYPT GRABS BRITISH JOURNALISTS --
British journalists in Egypt are facing criminal charges with eighteen others.
They are being detained and accused of manipulating video footage to show the
world an unreal scene that harms the country or is a threat to Egypt's National
Security.

EGYPT SAYS POLICE STATE NO LONGER
NECESSARY? -- Whilst admitting to have had a Police State, Egypt now
announces that it will no longer be necessary, claiming recent uprising had put
an end to abuses....this coming on the back of police excessive force......but,
the new Security Forces are being complained about, much in the same way as the
police...which looks like they've swapped one evil for another.

EGYPT JAILS THREE JOURNALISTS --
International Journalists doing what they get paid to do were arrested and
jailed by the Egyptian Government causing the International community to feel
anger. Australian Peter Greste, Canadian-Egyptian Mohammed Fahmy and
Eyptian producer Baher Mohammed were jailed for at least 7 years for
'spreading false news and aiding a 'terrorist organisation' which none of them
did.

EGYPT DEPOSED PRESIDENT DENIES
ORDERS TO KILL -- As so often when caught, leaders of countries deny liability
or giving orders to execute or kill those who oppose him. Former President
Hosni Mubarak sat in the accused cage of the Cairo Court to deny giving the
order to kill protestors in 2011. The trial which has gone on for a year
thinks he did nothing wrong! and deludes himself by colouring his career listing
his achievements to those that will listen and his followers...he now claims he
was not forced from power but gave it up.

EGYPT ATTEMPTS TO CURB FREE SPEECH
-- in an attempt to make cover-ups normal practice, Egypt wanted several hundred
journalists to agree to a policy pledging support for the state and banning any
criticism of the police, army and judiciary. The press rightly were not
going to endorse this as it amounted to a voluntary surrender of the freedom of
expression and giving in to secrecy and letting the authorities do what they
like. The policy was rejected.

EGYPT POLICE OFFICER CHARGED -- A
Police Officer who shot a protestor, a young mother who died as a result of his
indiscriminate shots into the crowd ' forced' the prosecutor, Shaimaa Sabbagh (a
rare action only brought about by the fact someone photographed the young woman
bleeding and dying...which was then shown on the Internet) to bring criminal
charges against the police officer 'on a lesser charge' (than murder)...because
he was a member of the Security Forces.......otherwise there would have been no
case and no charge...the authorities would have seen to this on any other
occasion....only the Internet forced it.

SAUDI and its
Draconian sentences, -- It is reported that nine men with gay tendencies, whom
they label as ' deviants ' were sentenced to 2400 strokes each? the floggings
are to be carried out fortnightly at 60 strokes a time until the full sentence
is carried out. Neil Durkin of Amnesty said these people were being denied a
fair trial and the only evidence offered was that the men wore women's clothes
while being involved with each other, and that confessions had been forced out
of them, they were not allowed legal representation. A gay man can be sentenced
to death -- for being gay!! -- which is either hanging or beheading.

ABU DHABI and the
Ras al-Khaimah emirate -- decided to invent a law where bad drivers were
publicly flogged, or ten days in jail -- it said violators of traffic rules will
be flogged in public at the mosque nearest to their houses. Police confirmed
that up to fifty strokes would be given to anyone driving badly, ignoring red
stop lights or driving without a licence.

BEHEADING:
Egypt's favourite game of justice -- Ancient Laws, Ancient methods and swimming
in modern money..... We came across a report that one Filipino man has bought
himself off the death list, yet another one awaits death by sword as he will be
beheaded in a public square.....it was interesting to note that the two men have
been waiting for 12 years.....along with many others on death row!

EGYPT'S FINANCE
MINISTER JAILED -- Former Minister of Finance, Yousef Boutros-Ghali was
sentenced to 25 years in prison after being found guilty of squandering in the
region of £2.3million in the last few years of his job for the country.

EGYPT CONTINUES
ITS SUPPRESSION AND CRACKDOWN ON DISSENTERS - An Egyptian Blogger went on trial
for ' insulting the President' -- Ahmed Douma called the President a criminal
and murderer on his Internet blog during media interviews.....and was arrested
in April....The USA who give $1.5billion of aid each year to Egypt (used mostly
on the Military) are said not to be pleased by these arrests.

SAUDI COURT JAILS HUMAN RIGHTS
LAWYER -- Prominent Human Rights Lawyer Waleed Abul-Khair was jailed for 15
years on the charge of 'inciting public opinion'.....they've also barred him
from travelling out of the country for a further fifteen years for being an
activist...(so that he can't tell his story to the Western World)

THE SAUDI'S
FLOGGED UK Citizen Nigel Maidment arrested over an alcohol incident, he was
sentenced to 70 strokes, and another Briton, John Kelly was given 250 strokes
for a similar offence. One can agree that a country must pursue its own laws,
but it still does not take away the fact that the country practices barbaric
rituals disguised as law....and it does not make one ounce of sense that one man
gets 70 and another 250 for a drink related incident apparently under the same
law, which does not show an equal fairness under the judiciary that on the face
of it seems to be wholly corrupt.

SAUDI'S SENTENCE
BRIT COUPLE TO FLOGGING - 57 yr old Ann and 59yr old Peter Goldsmith have been
sentenced to 500 strokes each on yet again, a alcohol related charge, and that
sentence is double what the previous sentence has been in relation to the above
article making a nonsense out of a so-called judicial sentencing law. The couple
were held at separate jails, and that fact was held secret for some time as
Shari Codes of Islamic Law allow detention without trial and restrict legal
representation.

SAUDI'S FLOG
BRITON IN SECRECY DESPITE DIPLOMATIC PROMISES THAT HE WOULD BE SPARED -- Qatar
Lawyers assured British Diplomats that they would not proceed with the caning,
but went ahead despite these shallow and untrue statements issued by the
Saudi's. Gavin Gerrard-Smith who was led out of his cell and made to strip and
remove the prison overalls and t-shirt for the doctor's examination before being
caned by several policeman who carried out the sentence in front of a religious
judge, senior policeman and the doctors. Three policeman carried out the
caning. Apparently at the prison, they cane prisoners on Tuesdays, it's nice
when these barbaric sadists have made a day for it ? It's a pity there isn't a
day for their downfall and destruction!!

SAUDI ARABIA ORDERS 50 STROKE
FLOGGING FOR MAN WHO INSULTED POLICE -- In keeping with their ways
the court in Jeddah gave a woman a prison sentence of one month and 50 lashes
for insulting the police? despite an Appeal, the court upheld the sentence
because she called them 'liars' during an argument.

SAUDI ARABIA IN ANOTHER FLOGGING
SENTENCE AGAINST BLOGGER -- The backward courts of Saudi Arabia still lost in
the past and grabbing the wealth of the future sentenced Raif Badawi to 1,000
lashes besides 10 yrs in jail for insulting Islam on a Internet forum....the
court says that he will be given 50 lashes every week for twenty weeks as 'an
example for others to see'.......apparently he was sentenced in May 2014
according to Amnesty.

SAUDI ARABIA DEFENDS FLOGGING OF
BLOGGER -- In a news report it comes as no surprise that the Saudi government
like this 'hang 'em flog 'em' thing......its all there in their history, as they
live that way except with bigger wallets and embracing capitalism for their own
greed. They claim that the attack from the outside nations is unjustified
and their commitment to human rights is all too clear?......pull the other one,
it doesn't work.

SAUDI'S BEHEAD 7
CONVICTED PRISONERS DESPITE UN PLEAS -- Yet another case of 'we the ancient,
and now powerfully rich' will conduct our barbaric practices as we see fit --
but we still want to squeeze the West over our oil fields ' The UN asked for
clemency for the seven men convicted of theft, robbery and looting, one of those
executed said he was forced into a confession by torture....it was said that the
judges refused to see the marks in the three years of trial....the sentence was
death by crucifixion or firing squad, but news emerged that the seven men were
beheaded in the Southern city of Abha in March.

(Hopefully
Electric fuelled Cars will finally dominate motoring, and the Saudi's wealth
will topple like rotten apples.....because beyond oil they have nothing to
offer.....and nothing to blackmail the West with anymore)

EGYPT TORTURES
CHILD DETAINEES -- A report has revealed that the Egyptian Authorities and
Police are detaining and torturing children. State Brutality has made a return
say observers who monitored recent protestors, and have resorted to unlawfully
detaining children, who were quickly taken out of view and incarcerated in jails
were they were systematically tortured. One lawyer interviewed said that around
400 kids, mostly young boys were being stripped naked before having cold water
thrown over them and some were whipped. 'This level of institutional abuse of
children is unprecedented in a country that pretends to have values whilst
embracing capitalism' said a Human Rights Observer...'They want the world to
think they've improved but behind it they are still in the past and believe that
beating someone gets what you want....even if they die!

EGYPTIAN TERRORIST MADE GOVERNOR OF
LUXOR -- A former Terrorist Al-Gamaa Al-Islamiya (who it is said committed a
notorious massacre in 1997 targeting civilians) was appointed Governor of Luxor
by the President of Egypt Mohammed Morsi, Many protestors came out in
uproar when the appointment was announced.

EGYPT PUTS INTERNET BLOGGER ON TRIAL
-- Ahmed Douma is charged with 'insulting the President' after calling him a
murderer and criminal during recent interviews he did. This latest arrest
against disidents shows that President Mohammed Morsi is seen as an escalating
crackdown on those who wish to speak out. Some say that Morsi is using his
Presidential powers to influence the court, and the USA have now begun to look
at their position especially in the light that they give Egypt $1.5 billion of
aid a year....which they know goes mostly to the Egyptian Military?

EGYPT SENTENCE FOREIGN ACTIVISTS IN
ABSTENTION --- Egypt Courts have been handing out jail sentences to
Foreign Activists a report says. Judge Makram Awad gave out several 5 year
prison sentences to at least 15 USA citizens (who luckily left Egypt before
being detained), one American who did not leave was jailed for two years, as was
a German Activist. It was revealed that the US give Cairo $1.3 billion in
aid (used by the Military), maybe its time to axe both Egypt's $1.5 billion and
Cairo's $1.3 billon......especially as this country was once run by a Military
Council.

EGYPT ANXIOUS TO RETURN TO
BEHEADINGS AND DICTATORSHIP -- Egypt are increasingly moving back into the
distant past to re-enact brutalities and fit them in 'modern law' -- Recently
they jailed three secular activists for their involvement in the 2011
Revolution..... convicting them of 'holding a rally without authorisation'...
they also added 'attacking police officers?.... they got 3 yrs under the new law
made to suppress and curtail the freedom of expression.......and there is a
return to that good old 'police brutality' which throws light on the added
convictions involving police claims.

EGYPT AND THE FREEING OF 26 CHARGED
GAY MEN --- Police it is said went deliberately out to capture the homosexuals
at a Cairo bath-house and seized twenty six men.......charging them with
committing indecent acts, but a judge acquitted all the accused men on hearing
that the raid was televised and orchestrated to make the public disgusted so
that a crackdown on such people would be welcomed.

EGYPT FORMER PRESIDENT GETS 20 YEARS
JAIL -- The Muslim Brothers leader Mohamed Morsi who was arrested after
three years of becoming Egypt's first freely-elected President was sentenced to
20 years in prison for killing protestors. He along with 12 other Muslim
Brothers were convicted of using violence, kidnapping and torture during the
demonstrations of 2012. Amazingly? they were acquitted of murder (which
carries the death sentence) and found guilty on lesser charges related to the
deaths. Amnesty called the sentences a travesty of justice.....and shows
up the warped and impartiality of Egypt's criminal justice system......probably
fixed!

DEATH OF BRITON
DUBAI RAISES QUESTION OF TRUTH IN POLICE ACCOUNT -- The Dubai Police now under
suspicion of falsifying testimony around the sudden death of Brit Lee Bradley
Brown, protest too much as they claim 'distortion of the facts' whilst appearing
to act furtive over their own actions. Brown was kept six days in a Dubai
police cell in 2011 when he was arrested after a disagreement with the hotel and
a staff member....he was thrown into Bur Dubai Police Station's cells.....and
died later amid allegations that he was beaten by police while he was in custody
(which is by no means a rare event -- it happens in most police stations around
the World). New documents obtained are said to carry serious doubt on Dubai's
official account by police. A UK post mortem examination showed discrepancies
in police claims........Dubai of course, will sweep this nicely aside.

BAHRAIN -- BOY OF
11 PUT ON TRIAL FOR PROTESTING --- Al Hasan, a boy of eleven is to stand trial
accused of taking part in an 'ant-government' rally that is protesting against
the Monarchy. The report says he faces other charges linked to the Gulf State,
and had to take his school exams in prison. What we don't see here is,
Childline, Save the Children, Amnesty, Human Rights.....why? could oil and
power be the reason? The world goes on about protecting children, so what is
being done....this child has been jailed and is to go on trial... not for theft,
robbery, vandalism....just protesting about injustice.....which he soon will
become part of after the trial.

INSULTS AGAINST
BAHRAIN KING LEADS TO PRISON --- A report says a civil court has jailed an
online activist to six months in jail for posting words against the king on
Twitter Pages. The authorities apparently arrested four people for 'defaming'
Bahrain's Monarch. This news as highlighted the now revealed crackdown by Arab
rulers to suppress free speech.

BAHRAIN COP
SENTENCED TO 7 YRS JAIL -- A policeman involved in the fatal shooting of a
protestor two years ago was jailed by the court for seven years.

BAHRAIN REFUSES
UN TORTURE INVESTIGATOR ACCESS -- Torture is being covered up as Bahrain
Officials cancel the visit of a UN Investigator, and will not say why they
cancelled his trip, nor have they offered another date. Juan Mendez the UN
Investigator said this was the second visit that had been postponed at short
notice, he said this move by Bahrain effectively cancels any investigation into
torture activity going on in the country.

THE AFGHANISTAN'S
RESORT TO PUBLIC EXECUTION -- The West come in with troops and fight for their
freedom, and the sickening scene of a woman executed in front of a baying crowd
shows the real Afghan -- A woman accused of adultery is shot five times by a
public executor with an assault rifle in front of a crazed crowd who have little
regard for life. This kind of warped justice is an affront against humanity, and
the people who support it have much to answer for.

AFGHANISTAN --
BRIBERY AMONG POLITICIANS AT 50 PERCENT -- Half the politicians in the
government are on the take according to official figures.....and the public find
it acceptable! They calmly reply that they understand that bribery is
widespread throughout society.

AFGHANISTAN RE-INTRODUCES 'STONING
TO DEATH' -- Resorting to its previous behaviour, Afghanistan is back to the
death penalty of 'stoning adulterers' ...... and observers see this as going
back to the old ways now the foreign troops are leaving..... this again reveals
the people's support for brutal and fatal punishment.

AFGHANISTAN HANGS FIVE -- If they're
not stoning they're locked in the ancient ways of 1066 whilst driving expensive
cars and indulging in Capital enrichment, and keeping the poor poorer.
Karzai signed the men's death warrants before enjoying his rich lifestyle.

AFGHAN LEADER
ENJOYS LUXURY OF UK HOTEL AT £7,000 A NIGHT -- As his people, who are said to be
some of the poorest in the World, President Hamid Karzai enjoys the luxury of
£7,000 a night London's Claridges Hotel with the British taxpayer footing the
entire bill for him and his 40-strong entourage. Amid the fact that half his
government are corrupt as the above article confirms, is meeting with PM David
Cameron over two days. It is said that corrupt Afghan Officials took £2.5billion
a year in bribes, twice what the government collect in taxes!

' Other 'Nasties'
around the World - in brief '

GREEK JOURNALIST
EXPOSES 2,000 TAX CHEATS -- An Investigation Journalist, Kostas Vaxevanis was
actually brought before the court for revealing the names of 2,000 tax cheats,

significally worse considering how cash strapped the country is.

GREEK PRISON GUARDS CHARGED OVER
TORTURE -- 8 Prison Guards have been charged with torturing a prisoner to
death. The Albanian convict had been accused of stabbing a guard
when he was refused leave to see his ill mother. The Prosecutor issued

where Illie Kareli was found dead in his cell after receiving a severe beating.
It is understood that if found guilty the guards face a maximum life sentence?

GREECE - POLICE OFFICER IN SMUGGLING

is being investigated by Iran's Parliament? which in turn raises suspicion too.
International condemnation of the death as suggested that Iran Judiciary failed
to address his death because they didn't want to. Apparently, Sattar ran a
anti-government blog on the Web (which would not make him popular with Iran).
Torture has been suggested by Amnesty. Outspoken Lawmaker Ahmed Tavakuli said
in a statement ' I recommend that instead of dealing harshly with bloggers, you
go after corrupt officials '

IRAN GUILTY OF
KILLING POLITICAL PRISONERS -- A tribunal revisited the horrors of the killing
of thousands of political prisoners in the year after the Islamic Revolution.

15,000 to 20,000 political prisoners.

IRAN HANGING A SHAME ONE MUST NOT
FORGET -- The brutal regime in Iran yet again demonstrated its capacity to rule
by fear. Hashem Shabaani was executed for 'spreading corruption'
according to those that cannot allow 'free thinking' He is just one
of hundreds hanged for their own beliefs and talking about the need for

ANOTHER VIETNAM BLOGGER JAILED FOR

disappearance.

obtain it. Apparently an appeal got him a conditional release and he flew
back to Britain.....hopefully Morocco is off his list to visit, as it should be
yours!

'

when Turkey is set on a course to suppress freedoms like several other countries
now engaged in this practice.

TURKEY REFUSE TO ADMIT BUTCHERING A
MILLION CHRISTIANS -- Not unusual really for a country like Turkey that made
complaints about the film 'Midnight Express' which depicted them as
barbarous....and even 100 years on Turkey like others prefer to pretend that
their past was brutal. These countries do not make reparations or put
their state murderers on trial....they'd rather honour them and ignore what they
are.

San Paulo based Brazilian Forum on Public safety.

BRAZIL TORTURERS MAY FACE JUSTICE?

ROMA REGISTRY --- Parliamentary Justice Committee Chairman Morgan Johansson said

nationwide.

MADAGASCAR AND MOB RULE --

killing. They opened fire on the UN safe Zone despite calls made to troops

per cent of civilian deaths occurred in the 'Safe Zone' In 2005, the
President appointed members of his family to Government positions as he declared
war on the Tamil Tigers....in 2008 the war started. Benjamin Din a UN
Staffer was removed from the area so that he could not be a witness to the
atrocities. But he did stay around long enough to see that the government
soldiers were killing people in the 'Safe Zone' Although the
UK's PM Cameron was asked to pull out, he went and in one news clip Official
Security Staff in Sri Lanka were assaulting a camera crew when they were trying
to get film of protestors and interview them'

was grabbed, but they didn't because of the corruption.

Troops and Pro-Government Militia seizing people in mass arrests.

ISRAEL EX-PRIME MINISTER GUILTY OF
CORRUPTION -- Former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is facing five years in prison

SUDAN -- TO HANG WOMAN FOR APOSTASY
-- She married a Christian, because she gave birth, she is being allowed to
nurse her baby for two years before they hang her. The Sudanese court also
awarded her 100 lashes for committing zena (illegitimate sex).....this is her
sentence for marrying a non-muslim .

SUDAN BAR UN FROM INVESTIGATING RAPE
CRIMES -- Typically, countries aspiring to preach one thing do the exact
opposite if it doesn't suit. The Sudan Authorities have refused to let UN
and African Union Peacekeepers visit a village in the region of Darfur to
investigate allegations of mass rape for the second time! proving how
unsuitable they are to be on any United Nations Council or even deserving a
place in the civilised World. Should countries like these need outside
help, it should be denied emphatically.....and no aid.

MONACO JAILS MAN FOR SPEAKING OUT --
Sadly Monaco join the list of suppression and intolerance to any view the
authorities don't like. A Tunisian man was jailed for three months after
'insulting the Prince' under the law 'lese-majeste' which makes it illegal to
insult the head of state. A Frenchman was jailed for six days in
another case for hurling abuse during a drinking binge. One ought to
be aware that Germany, Denmark and Spain do the same thing..... and the worse
place is THAILAND where offenders can be jailed for up to 15 years.

MONGOLIA -- PRIME MINISTER SACKED
OVER CORRUPTION -- The country's Parliament voted to sack their Prime
Minister, Altankhuyag Norov as allegations of corruption were exposed within his

President Hamid Karzai were accused of using bank funds to live a life of
luxury.

EUROPEAN EU OFFICIALS IN BRIBERY
RACKET -- A Legal Expert on European Law and The Eulex Mission which
investigates organised crime and corruption (and war crimes) is now compromised
by news that its officials were paid to drop organised crime cases they were
working on. The UK Prosecutor, Maria Bamieh found that she was suspended
in August after documents were leaked revealing possible bribe-taking. In
the light of this a top Legal Eagle Federica Mogherini will be employed to
investigate the allegations and scrutinize Eulex in a corruption inquiry.

CZECH REPUBLIC - FORMER PM'S WIFE ON
TRIAL -- She is being put on trial over a case that brought down the government,

BURMA RIOT COPS TARGET STUDENTS IN
PROTEST -- Students protesting about the new education law have been beaten and
arrested when over a 100 Riot Cops were ordered to quell the protestors.
Eye witnesses said the students were hit with batons and dragged along the
ground. The new law which puts every decision on Education policy in the
hands of government ministers steps away from the more free movement of letting
the Universities decide this and undermines the autonomy of universities.... say
those highly suspicious of another agenda the Burma Authorities have to suppress
Human Rights and Free Speech.

BURUNDI POLICE SHOOT PROTESTORS ---
Two people died as a result of police officers who fired at several protestors,

awaiting trial accused of crimes against humanity says these charges are
politically motivated. Simone Gbagbo's lawyer said the court had found the
first lady guilty of organising gangs, disturbing the peace and undermining
State Security.

LIBYAN SOLDIERS RAPE MAN --
According to news, a victim accused the Military and especially two Libyan
soldiers of a serious crime whilst wearing their National Uniform. The
unnamed victim appeared at Cambridge Crown Court saying that Libyan Soldiers
Moktar Ali Saad Mahmoud and Ibrahim Abugtila attacked and raped him whiile they
were undergoing training at Bassingbourn Barracks in Cambridge. 'He said
they behaved like animals and held him down to do their despicable deed.'

NB: The strange
thing about corruption is that there is hardly a murmur about the ones who made
it possible for them to hide their crime......and none are brought to trial once
the cover-up is tightly tied up and put out of sight.

It is well
understood why the West dare not interfere other than complain about these
countries, and that reason is OIL, they are rich in oil and have the upper hand
in what goes where and who does what, and the Saudi's know it all too well --
and use that tool as a lever to make the dog lie still and keep the bark in
check.

'Pakistan,
not quite out of the Barbaric Ages '

PAKISTAN POLICE
ACCUSED OF SYSTEMATIC TORTURE -- 9364 CASES OVER A NINE YEAR PERIOD according
to data provided by Amnesty International. This damning case highlights huge
wrong-doing by the country's police force. Much of this was suppressed and
hidden by the Interior Minister who was not available for comment. Mainly
relating to the Punjab, figures were revealed regarding 2007 in which there were
1,723 cases of torture and beatings by the police. 1289 male persons of adult
age were subject to violence by cops, 193 females were assaulted etc, 98 girls
were abused, and 143 boys beaten and abused figures confirm.

PAKISTAN AND THE
EXECUTIONS BY HANGING -- Asia and its fondness for flogging and death sentences,
a report says they have carried out their first death sentence in four years,
they hanged Mohammed Hussain, a soldier who was convicted of murder in 2009 of a
colleague. He was executed in the Mianwall City prison, the last hanging was in
2008.....the Human Rights Commission have criticized the authorities of
maintaining the outdated policy.....which is out of step with the modern world.

PAKISTAN NAMED AS
ONE OF THE MOST CORRUPT COUNTRIES -- A report says Pakistan suffer serious
corruption throughout the country and in government, yet they received
£1.4billion in aid from the UK in 4yrs.

PAKISTAN
PRESIDENT IMMUNE FROM PROSECUTION -- Even if he has committed a crime, and
recent news that the Swiss Authorities have refused to re-open a bribery case
involving the President in the 1990's tells us that you can escape justice if
you rule over others, and that the law does not apply equally for all. It
appears that there is a rule that a President as Head of State has and enjoys
immunity. Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari was accused of 'graft' before he
became President. The case was one involving bribery, multi-million allegations
against Mr Zardari who was accused of laundering US$12 MILLION DOLLARS in
alleged 'kickbacks'......the case is now dead in the water......and justice will
not be done.

PAKISTAN WANTS CIA TO STAND TRIAL

PAKISTAN DENIES LEGAL HELP FOR BRIT
FACING EXECUTION -- Pakistan moved back in the past again to show just how out
of touch they are underneath the surface....a surface of call centres for the
West and Europe. A severely mentally handicapped man has been denied basic
legal help to organise an appeal against him being hanged....lawyers for 69 year
old were barred from the court.....the man's crime is blasphemy according to
their laws. The sentence and behaviour of the court has brought outrage
from the West.

PAKISTAN POLITICIAN ARRESTED IN UK
--- British Police arrested London based powerful politician in connection
with a money-laundering case. Altaf Hussain Head of the Muttahida Qaumi
Movement in Pakistan was arrested by The Met police. Karachi Security
Forces have been placed on high alert since receiving the news of his arrest in
London.

PAKISTAN LIFT SUSPENSION ON THE
DEATH PENALTY -- Returning to the past and adopting the principles of barbarism
(like Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand and others), Pakistan's government are to
continue with the executions. The Minister for the Interior said the
penalty applies to all the prisoners on death row, and those that have had their
appeals thrown out will be executed soon irrespective of the nature of the
crime.

PAKISTAN TO HANG TEENAGER -- CLAIMS
OF TORTURE GO UNHEEDED -- As Shafqat Hussain claimed he was tortured into a
confession that will now see him hanged, which has already been done by the time
this is up on the list of barbaric incidents. He was arrested when just
14yrs old, and tortured for nine days by the Pakistan Police....he was accused
of kidnap and murder in 2004 and convicted in 2007....there was no other
evidence than the suspicious confession, but the High Court now back to its
hanging game, dismissed his appeal and ordered that he would be hanged.

PAKISTAN HANG 15 CONVICTS ---
A report says that 15 convicts were hanged on one day in the province since the

corrupt countries in the World)

they seem to behave without any accountability. It says they continue to exploit
and enjoy this favour because the government lack the will or interest to look
into it. They went onto say that the police were shooting, beating and killing
civilians without fear of prosecution.

On top of this
comes the whiff of a cover-up being set in motion as police are searching for
the creator and distributor of an Internet online sex tape featuring a female
Legislator? (Jakarta)

Lawmaker Angelina
Sondakh has been said to be the latest law maker detained on suspicion of
corruption in South Jakarta. The KPK said they had evidence linking her to a
second 'graft' case. -- The arrested lawmaker Angelina Sondakh who is under
suspicion of grafting, has been offered a 'leniency deal' by the government if
she helps track down others implicated in her case!!

The Indonesian
Public were outraged by police as it tries to push for a new electronic data
card system which will cost 4.7 million dollars, which would overlap an existing
Identity Card System already being used.

Information
denied! After a Freedom of Information Law was passed in Indonesia, the
legislators and public officials are ignoring what is required of them and still
only allowing very limited access to documents despite the law say civil rights
groups in Jakarta.

INDONESIAN POLICE
SHOOT MAN AND THEN LIE ABOUT IT --- Jayapura Police shot a 20 year old man
begging for change. When witnesses reported the incident which happened at 8-15
am the police issued a denial that no such thing had taken place? However it
later emerged in a police statement that a report had been entered of a man
being shot saying he was 'accidentally shot' Eyewitnesses said that the 20 year
old, Seus Tabuni was rather drunk and in the vicinity of the University of Yapis.
They said the young man shouted at the police and they opened fire, wounding him
in the leg. It was said that Seus tried to run but was shot in the head twice --
the bullet of one shot came out of his mouth. It wasn't clear whether he died
from this, though extremely likely, he had no gun or weapon --- the two police
officers have not been charged? if they are it should be murder in the light of
wounding him first, then pursuing him afterwards --- a premeditated decision to
inflict fatal wounds.

MALIGNANCY OF
INDONESIA 'JUDICIAL MAFIA' -- Tax Evasion laid bare was certainly one fact as
Indonesian Tax Officer Gayus Tambunan was jailed for 7 years for corruption.
However, this case stirred up the public annoyance as he openly accused the
government in court of massive corruption in the tax administration. The
Country's Attorney General's Office said the case has been severely compromised
by Judicial Corruption. Tambunan is said to have caused the state to lose
Rp570.9 million. He was arrested and brought back from Singapore to face
charges. The case blew wide open and Jakarta Lawyer Advocate Haposan Hutagalung
was charged with bribery and forging court documents. Conspirators - Two
National Police Generals, Raja Erizman and Edmon IIyas, senior Attorney Generals
Office officials and executives who bribed him... remain untouched?

CORRUPTION IN
INDONESIA FORESTRY SECTOR -- Calls for The Corruption Eradication Commission to
hurry have been made known as numerous public officials and around twenty

AN INDONESIAN
ARMY CAPTAIN IS CAUGHT ON CAMERA ASSAULTING MAN --- You Tube showed a video of a
ranking serviceman attacking a motorcyclist in a West Jakarta Street. It has
been reported that the police have taken the Army Captain in for questioning.

INDONESIA
MINISTER ACCUSED OF TAKING BRIBES -- Youth and Sports Minister Andi Alfian
Mallarangeng has denied allegations made by a convict who says he gave the
minister $2milion dollars in relation to a construction of a stadium. This
story wouldn't have much credence if it were not for the fact that the convict
referred to is interestingly? -- The former Treasurer of The Democratic Party
Muhammad Nazaruddin!!

INDONESIA
PRODUCER AND MARKET FOR DRUGS --- Despite the harsh penalties like whipping and
the Death Penalty, in 2011 there were 30,000 cases in the court involving drug
offences. Even in 2010 there was 26,000 cases before the courts to do with
drugs, which indicates it went up by 4,000 from the previous year, hence drug
offences are rising every year. Why this is so, is because Indonesia are in the
drug business, creating and selling drugs in a thriving Asian market that is
often denied by the government. (In one mass raid by police there were 547 drug
suspects arrested -- 2 importers -- 136 traffickers --- and 407 distributers --
2 insiders at the jail)

INDONESIA
'CONFLICT OF CONTRADICTIONS' AND TWISTING JUDICIARY -- Featured here is the 'One
Law for the Poor -- One Law for the Rich' --- Two foreigners are to be executed
by firing squad in July 2012, for drug offences. The two men were convicted of
smuggling heroin in 2001 and having exhausted their appeals whilst being
incarcerated in a Penitentiary, the state have decided to execute them in a few
weeks time. The Authorities have made a statement saying they have informed the
men's Embassies, the Penitentiary, The Justice Ministry and Human Rights
Ministry. They also say 'The Police will act as the men's Executioners and carry
out the death penalty (something as we have already seen is their speciality in
Indonesia)......yet we also have a report saying that LAW ENFORCERS ARE
COMMITTING INAPPROPRIATE ACTIONS as police and soldiers have been told to abide
by the law? Many groups are pointing out that the rich on drug charges are not
being sentenced to death...the bloggers cite the recent case of Deputy District
Chief Syukur Bijack who was arrested for taking and possessing Crystal
Methamphetamine at his villa party with six friends, they are anxious to see if
the authorities are prepared to do justice and put the prominent government
figure to death or even jail him? at the same time we have An Indonesian Armed
Forces Commander denying that drug smuggling and affiliation to drugs is not
widespread in the Army as an un-named SERGEANT MAJOR IN THE ARMY attached to The
force's Intelligence Unit has been arrested over 1.4 million Ecstasy tablets
from China were seized in a police raid.

THE 1995 LIE ---
Indonesia 1995, Jakarta, The Campaign for Democracy and Freedom of Speech in
Indonesia led by founder of TEMPO (banned), and the Alliance of
Independent Journalists --- Taufik, spoke out about Indonesian troops who
brutally attacked demonstrators -- which according to the authorities who
dismissed the incident as 'squaddie indiscipline' --- he visited Britain and
spoke to Carol Robson of The Foreign Office about how she had really supported
the lie of improving human rights in Indonesia by citing in a statement that
lighter punishments had been meted out to journalists who had protested in the
streets of Jakarta. He told her that this was incorrect as he could give
testimony to the fact they were beaten senseless by the police. The worst part
of this was, that when he returned to Indonesia he was seized and arrested, and
was quickly found guilty in court of ' insulting the government' and jailed for
two years and eight months?

THE GRASBERG
MINES COVER-UP AND THE INDONESIAN MASSACRE OF 1965-1966 --- History will always
come back to haunt a country, because the past reflects on its present and
future....such is the Unrest over the Grasberg Mines, which sparked off claims
of brutality and global injustice that is being downplayed by the authorities.
Details emerged of a massive strike at the mines and workers being mysteriously
gunned down and killed --- thought to be connected with a struggle for control
by the police and military who are keen to financially benefit from the mineral
assets. The Indonesian 1966 Massacre is still haunting the government as
claims of four decades of injustice have been allowed to pass by without
restitution --- hundreds of thousands of people were imprisoned and tortured.
We now go onto the 'Flip Flop Case' CHILDREN JAILED BY POLICE --The arrest and
trial of a 15 year old boy over a pair of old sandals taken from a garbage bin
led to the youth being badly beaten with a stick by three police
officers....when his father went to complain the police said the boy would face
five years in jail over the 3 dollar sandals? A second boy 14 years old was in
a Jakarta Prison for three weeks before coming up before a court charged with
allegedly stealing a one dollar, fifteen cents cell phone voucher? Luckily the
judge didn't like the case and he was set free. The Flip Flop Case has yet to
be decided upon!

THE ATROCITIES IN
INDONESIA COVERED UP BY BRITISH OFFICIAL SECRETS ACT --- Foreign Secretary Robin
Cook (1980's) arrived in Indonesia to get a deal on Human Rights, fully knowing
he was dealing with a vile and vicious dictatorship. He offered to provide
senior British police officers to lecture on non-violent crowd control.
Unbelievably, this visit was badly timed, as his Indonesian hosts were already
engaged in a crackdown on dissenters 'Operation Finish them Off' in East Timor
--- using British type arms that Cook refused to put an embargo on. Robin Cook
concealed the re-supply of rapid firing machine guns, ammunition and nuclear
equipment by conveniently using The Official Secrets Act to gag this from being
known at the time, which rather pleased Indonesia.

THE INDONESIA
MASSACRE AT SANTA CRUZ -- Indonesian Troops killed 400 peaceful protestors and
murdered demonstrators in Dili on the 12th of November 1991. Witnesses said the
soldiers deliberately killed survivors of the shootings including the wounded
(in the time of the Suharto Regime). The UK Government acted coy along with its
cohorts The Australian Government, describing what had happened as an
'incident' The British and other Western Governments entered into a sort of
conspiracy to deflect the truth and participated in propaganda claiming that the
Indonesian Rule in East Timor was no longer 'harsh, brutal or oppressive' ---
However, Bishop Carlos Belo in East Timor discounted this and said 'this isn't
true, there are even more restrictions than ever before. No-one dare speak out
and neither can they demonstrate, people disappear if they do, it never stops!'

INDONESIA TAX

POLICE SHOOTING
IN INDONESIA OF ACTIVIST CAUSES RIOT -- Police deliberately and without
provocation shot down and killed an Independent Human Rights Activist on the
Papua Island. It was said by police he was resisting arrest --- they later
claimed he was armed. An un-named eye-witness at the scene said there was no
weapon to be seen. It is generally claimed that Police Corruption and The
Authorities are working together to keep foreign eyes and Press at bay.

INDONESIA JAIL
MAN FOR FACEBOOK CONTENTS --- Yet again we see another Asian case of Injustice
in its bid to curb the freedom of expression and comments it does not like ---
and it uses the Law to persecute those who challenge it. Alexander Aan was
jailed for 30 months for showing an article ' God doesn't exist' on his Facebook
page. The Authorities found him guilty under 'The Electronic Information and
Transactions Law' -- Judge Eka Prasetya Dharma presided over the case in court.

INDONESIA POLICE
COMMANDER DOES NOT DENY OFFICERS COMMIT MISCONDUCT -- Pushed by a recent post on
Twitter, the South Jakarta Senior Commander of Police Rikwanto, said there were
some police officers who commit violations -- in 2011 there were 79 police
officers dismissed for misconduct. This revelation was made in the light of an
incident posted on Twitter revealing police conduct in a drug raid at Kemang --
the driver of a car was stopped and pills were found. The officers were said to
have acted in 'an intimidating manner' -- the pills were examined and found to
be a legal purchase and prescription.

Aceh which lasted three hours...it was stated that police fired shots, and this
was over a 'football match'

author of the controversial ' Lampur Lapindo File' --- Konspirasi SBY-Bakrie,
which is to do with the Lapindo Mudflow Disaster, was supposed to have turned up
at a book session. The book mentioned the conspiracy between President Susilo
Bambang Yudhoyono and the Golkar Party Chairman, Aburizal Bakrie and the link

government from using state money to pay for mistakes made by Lapindo.

approve the spending of Rp 35 billion (3.71 million dollars) on the project,
however, amid denials, a travel ban was placed on him and the Deputy Chairman of
the KPK said an investigation would begin on July the 21, 2012.

THE BRUTAL
SUPPRESSION OF 1962 and the scandal the authorities would rather forget -- when
Yangon University Students (300) were subjected to a 'bloody' blitz by army
troops. 20 students have been detained at Yangoon on the 50th anniversary of
that awful incident...and they were calling for the release of the dissidents
who were jailed without trial. (The Myanmar Activists)

INDONESIA'S FLOOD
OF CORRUPTION CASES -- The Corruption Eradication Commission Spokesman Johan
Budi of the KPK said that 'Indonesia's most successful generation -- has been
the 'corrupter generation' and the endemic problem of corruption is being
employed and steered by young men mostly in their 30's -- which is not healthy
for the welfare of the nation.

INDONESIA TAX
OFFICER CAUGHT TAKING BRIBES -- Yet another tax man in corruption case --- Bogor
Tax Office Chief Anggrah Suryo was caught in the act of receiving Rp 300 million
(31.800 dollars) from the executive of the firm Gunung Emas Abadi -- The KPK
handed over the bribery case to the Attorney General's Office. It was said that
the tax man waved large parts of the tax owed for a generous payment.

INDONESIA
PROSECUTORS WANT 12 YEAR SENTENCE FOR TAXMAN -- The Authorities are calling for
a twelve year prison sentence for taxman Dhan Wydyatmika who was found guilty of
corruption after taking bribes. They also want a large fine imposed, so that if
he fails to pay it, they can add a further six months in jail!

INDONESIA CANNOT
RUN AWAY FROM 'SERIOUS HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS' -- 1965 was the year Indonesia
committed unforgivable human rights atrocities, One Major General Suharto was
responsible for this and up to half a million people died --- he hardly took any
notice as he seized power and became the President for thirty years. And even
then, there was no atonement for these outrageous acts of violence perpetrated
by his military forces --- Slavery, extermination, forced eviction, deprivation
of freedom, torture, rape, abuse and physical punishment of an extreme nature
that resembled 'sadism' followed! -- all of these things would get an ordinary
citizen hanged or jailed for life --- but no-one was ever prosecuted. Komnas
HAM -- The Rights Commissioners led by Nurkhalis say they've analysed and took
masses of evidence during investigations, and can now take action against some
of those who committed the atrocities --- they did not hesitate in naming The
Command for the Restoration of Security and Public Order (Kopkamtib) the
pervasive security network set up by President Suharto. They have 349 surviving
witnesses --- the case has been put before the Attorney General in the hope that
he will bring a rightful honest closure and investigate and prosecute those who
were responsible wherever and whatever position and power they now hold without
delay?

LAW IN INDONESIA
CRIPPLED BY CORRUPTION -- The recent case of the jailing of 'pop' star Nazriel
'Ariel' Irham for producing a pornographic video highlighted the inconsistent
way the law is being used and applied to some things and not others --
completely without explanation. He was convicted under the 2008 Electronic
Information and Translation Law for distribution of the said video, despite
prosecutors failing to prove it was he that had released it to the Internet.
The video was discovered to have been stolen by an employee and posted onto the
Internet by his cousin. The employee was jailed for two years, but his cousin
who'd put it up on the Web was not charged? Another strange fact was the video
was made in 2006, some two years before this law came into use...and it was
revealed that the authorities tried in the void to fit a law to suit before
turning to the 2008 law. Yet, some politically influential people who have been
caught in connection with indecent photos and porn have not been charged at all
-- Legislator Max Moein engaged in nakedness with his secretary in pictures
shown on the Internet but was not charged --- Law maker Yahya Zaini was not
charged when he was featured on a Internet sex video with Maria Eva in 2006 ---
Rich Politician Arifinto was caught watching a porn video but again was never
charged -- three cases no-one jailed? one law for the poor and another for the
rich, that is what we have here.....and it looks as normal as day turns into
night.

120 INDONESIAN
COPS FACE INVESTIGATION OVER BOY'S DEATH --- Nothing to fear about as the police
are only too aware, investigations into the police are often pulled or set aside
to be 'white-washed' by the Attorney General 'Lawmaker' --- A 13 year old boy
protestor was shot dead by police in Cinta Manis, which has triggered an
inquiry. 120 police officers from the local patrol are to be questioned? or
given commendations more likely. The boy has not been named and it appears the
authorities are in 'cover-up' mode -- and the suggestion that the inquiry will
reveal the police involved is already flawed by measures to get the bullet
casings which will not determine much at all...and officials know that. The
officer or officers who shot the boy have not come forward and in this country
like many others -- it's a case of 'come and get me if you can prove it'....this
country have an appalling record of cops killing citizens...Amnesty have shouted
this for years.....they also have some of the worst prison conditions known - 20
men to a cell, disease and violence...some prisoners are actually murdered and
it is covered up by the authorities....no prisoner is charged...as some are
there for life anyway, so who cares about the odd killing of a
prisoner...clearly not the Government or people of Indonesia..it's a way of life
or death!

INDONESIA
ANTI-TERROR COPS ACCUSED OF SHOOT TO KILL POLICY -- The US funded police squad
of Indonesia killed seven suspected militants, a report says. This has renewed
allegations against the police that the state force is operating a
'shoot-to-kill' policy. It was said 'no shots were fired at the officers'
during three related raids in Eastern Indonesia. A Rights group spokesman said
' this killing of seven people appears to be 'extra-judicial executions' and
should be investigated by an outside commission.

INDONESIA AND THE JUDICIAL CORRUPTION -- 'Australian wrongly convicted by
corrupt police chief ' An innocent man was jailed in 1985 and went to prison
until 1996 because of Indonesia's corrupt judicial system and Government.
Australian Christopher Parnell was a tourist on holiday in Bali with his wife
and 32 years of age when police swooped into their holiday lodgings using force
and guns -- The Police Fit-Up had started, and police fit-ups are common in
Indonesia.....it's almost part of the law...and considered by the judiciary as
fair game. They actually charged him and suggested a bribe (the handing over of
his watch, money and travellers cheques which he refused) if he had bowed to the
corruption of the police chief it was said the charge might be 'smaller' -- the
situation got worse and they claimed his fingerprints were on the packets of
drugs which they said he'd smuggled into Indonesia. A test of the fingerprints
finally proved they were not his, but to 'save face' the police charged him on
the drug charges despite knowing they had the wrong man -- which points to a
deep evil in Indonesia's society and Government Judicial system, which is highly
corrupt. In 1987 he was given a life sentence that meant life. He tried to
escape but was brutally beaten by guards and a murder attempt followed that
almost took his life. After a massive attempt by his family to get him released,
he left the prison in 1996 after spending 11 years in a cell for something he
had not done. No compensation, restitution or apology was made by the
Government of Indonesia...they more or less treat foreigners and tourists with
contempt...they certainly have no regard to human rights....the cop never stood
trial, and the guards were never charged.

...Indonesia is
no place to visit or give aid to....it is a hell spot on Earth, and should be
drowned in the ocean to be rid of the vermin.

INDONESIA --
POLICE WANT TO INVESTIGATE OWN BAD COPS IN CORRUPTION CASES -- The KPK Conflict
--- The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Chairman, Abraham Samad has made
a stand against the police over the 'Controversial Driving Simulator Graft Case'
involving bribery --- Police General Djoko Susilo has been named as a prime
suspect and major player. The Justice Minister says the police have the right
to handle the case when he replied to KPK's demands to have the matter
investigated by them in an independent inquiry. The KPK said this was not a wise
move or morally right for the citizens of the country. Samad said the police
would naturally be loathe to investigate their own generals, and an
investigation by them would always be suspicious.

INDONESIA POLICE
IN KEDIRI ARE TO BE INVESTIGATED -- Eight police officers in East Java have been
brought in for investigation over the beating of an innocent man who was set

CORRUPTION IN
INDONESIA WILL NOT BE ERADICATED -- It will in fact survive well due to the
inefficiency of law and government because of its weakness in dealing with it.
Franz Winata from the National Commission on Law says corruption refuses to go
away. The State budget has had a huge increase in the area of law, yet an
inability to clean up bureaucracy -- people in the act of taking and giving
bribes are not at all worried in being found out or prosecuted because the
penalties are weak -- no one goes to jail for long! some not at all?

CORRUPTION
UNCOVERED IN INDONESIA'S UNIVERSITIES --- In 2011 it was discovered that 16
state universities were found to have a high number of 'graft' cases involved in
their financial structures, which is sad to cause great losses in the trillions
of dollars to the state. This stark notice was issued by The Supreme Audit
Agency -- BPK -- The University Gajah was singled out the worst culprit with $34
million dollars mentioned!

CORRUPTION
INVESTIGATIONS UPSET INDONESIAN POLICE --- Tension between the National Police
and The Corruption Eradication Commission got worse as the Commission began
investigating corruption allegations within the police ranks. It was stated
that the last time the (KPK) Corruption Eradication Committee investigated
allegations of corruption against the National Police they responded by criminal
methods aimed at discrediting members of the commission and fabricating 'bogus'
bribery allegations against two deputies of the commission, and actually
arrested the Chairman on murder charges -- all designed to thwart the commission
and destroy it!

INDONESIA POLICE

District Court and The Supreme Court, but he would not name them?

P.S. Strangely,
as netizens have commented on blogs, that these are the judges that hand out

a strong message to restore their good reputation Internationally? which is
indeed a joke....as you can see in the many other articles and what they reflect
of this country.....it can't have a good reputation while it indulges in regular
corruption......and that applies to their police and judiciary.....this sentence
is an obvious attempt to deflect World attention away from corruption in their
government. Other details are that Lindsay Sandiford was interrogated by police
without a translator, and was not allowed legal representation or the assistance
of the British Embassy for 10 days?

SOLDIERS ATTACK JOURNALISTS -- In an attempt to cover-up a crashed Jet of the

etc, for top police officers. (March 2013)

INDONESIA COP DETAINED OVER
SUSPICIOUS BANK ACCOUNT -- A low-ranking Police Officer was detained for
investigation when it was discovered that he had a massive bank account
containing Rp 1.5 trillion in financial transactions. It is reported that
the Papua Police are investigating this?

INDONESIA COPS STOP CANING OF
CONVICTED POLICE OFFICER --- Despite being convicted of gambling by a
court under Sharia Law, punishable by a caning, fellow officers prevented the
caning from being administered. Observers said this shows that there is a
'double-standard' in operation when enforcing the law. It seems okay to
cane a nobody, but if you're in the law or government you don't get caned
despite committing the crime!

INDONESIA - THREE
MARINES JAILED FOR ASSAULT ON JOURNALISTS -- Two Sergeants and a Private were
jailed by a Military Court for interfering with the Freedom of the Press at an
incident in Padang, West Sumatra in 2012. As to why they were 'obstructing'
journalists who were at the time covering a story on the demolition of several
buildings used for prostitution, remains a mystery? None of those jailed were
prepared to reveal the 'agenda' or who might have given them orders...or who
wanted the journalists silenced! (This is the second such item involving
troops and attacks on journalists)

INDONESIA - GROUP
OF SOLDIERS FACE COURT FOR DETAINEES EXECUTIONS --- A group of serving soldiers
engaged in the summary execution of four detainees in Police Custody. Doubts
now arise as the Military Chief of Staff 'promises' full transparency in the
trial of these soldiers. Due to a long record of lies and mistrust, the public
do not readily believe that the Army will co-operate fully or tell the truth.

INDONESIA TAX

Minister in 2008.

INDONESIA --
CORRUPTION SUSPECTED IN EDUCATION AND EXAMS -- An Inspectorate for the
Government is investigating a Watchdog's allegations of corruption during the
process of The National Exam Printing. National Exams were halted in 11
provinces. FITRA said there were irregularities which should be investigated
(they are a body that look at Monetary Budgets and the transparency of
accounting).

INDONESIA -- AND
MORE CORRUPTION: Raids were made at the Trading Company Gerindo Perkasa in
Bogor, West Java. A Director and the staff were arrested for bribery over land
concessions -- all seven were grabbed by the KPK Corruption Eradication
Commission.

INDONESIA
LAWMAKER IN COURT FOR CORRUPTION -- Prosecutors are demanding jail time for
suspended Law Official Zulkarnaen Djabar......they say that he should be sent to
prison for 12 years.

INDONESIA'S JUSTICE PARTY UNDER
BRIBERY ALLEGATIONS --- The KPK Anti-Corruption Committee have questioned the
Chief Patron of the PKS - Prosperous Justice Party, Hilmi Aminuddin in an
ongoing investigation into bribery and corruption, and money-laundering in which
several members have already been implicated. The PKS is the biggest
Islamic Party in Indonesia.

NO TRUST IN
INDONESIA'S MILITARY COURTS --- They lack neutrality, accountability and
transparency says a Human Rights Watchdog Group who have witnessed 'dodgy'
decisions being made in court when soldiers committing atrocities, abuse and
assaults on citizens are just 'ticked off' no matter how serious the charges
are. Human Rights Watch Phelm Kline Deputy Asian Director said 'for a better
relationship with citizens the soldiers should be tried in a civil court -- for
too long Indonesia's Military Courts have helped foster a culture of impunity by
letting abusive soldiers off with just talk or no punishment at all. In the
recent case of four detainees in a police station who were executed by soldiers,
the Senior Military and Government Officials publicly defended the 'killer
soldiers' and actively played down the crime.

THE INDONESIA KPK TO INVESTIGATE
'The Beef Corruption Scandal' -- The Corruption Eradication Commission is to
begin inquiries into where the Rp 10 million in transfers from Ahmad Fathanah
went. Evidence so far points to celebrities, students and 45 women.....the
KPK says they will uncover where this cash went.

EVEN INDONESIA'S CORRUPT POLITICIANS
HAVE PRIVILEGES IN PRISON -- Democratic Party Treasurer Muhammad Nazaruddin
sentenced to 7 years jail for bid-rigging in 2011, maintains his hold onto
political status and power within Cipinang Penitentiary. It has been
revealed that he has turned some of the building into his new office where he
now holds meetings with party members.

HUMAN RIGHTS STILL A PROBLEM IN
INDONESIA --- The US State Department in a press statement said that
despite Indonesia's small movement towards progress in 2012 regarding democracy,
the Government stills errs on the suppression of citizens who speak out, yet
lets off officials committing corruption disproportionally, and there are still
many reports of torture claims in police detention.....of which there were 86
reports of abuse involving 243 victims, so far unresolved and in the main,
ignored.

INDONESIA VILLAGERS BEAT ANIMAL TO
DEATH --- in ACEH, villagers beat a female Orang-utan to death says An animal
Watchdog Group --- The animal on the 'Critically endangered Primate' list was
clubbed to death by a large group of villagers. (July 2nd 2013).

INDONESIA IS LOSING THE FIGHT
AGAINST CORRUPTION --- A recent 2013 survey aimed at the subject of bribery and
corruption, has indicated that Indonesia is not managing to eradicate this type
of crime much as they'd hoped, in fact -- quite the reverse. 71 per cent
of the people believe that corruption is more common compared to 2011 when the
KPK said they were out to eradicate it....recent figures show that it is still
on the increase. People have little trust in the police, judiciary, civil
service or the legislature....it is almost absent!

INDONESIA -- KPK DETAIN EMIR OVER
BRIBE -- The Corruption Investigation team arrested Law Maker and Legislator
Emir Moeis over his involvement in a power plant corruption scandal. He is
said to have received a $300,000 bribe from a French contractor --- he was taken

INDONESIAN LAWYER ARRESTED OVER
BRIBING COURT OFFICIAL -- Well known Lawyer Hotma Sitompul was
arrested for 'bribing a Supreme court official' on Thursday -- the bribe of Rp
100 million ($9,700 dollars) was given during a high profile corruption case it
is reported.

INDONESIA'S KPK GO AFTER CORRUPT
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS -- News from Indonesia says that the Corruption Eradication
Unit the KPK is targeting more government officials in order to return to the
public purse a fortune in stolen money -- by using money-laundering laws they
are managing to target those who thought they might not get caught.
Prosecutors in corruption cases are looking into official's personal wealth,
bank accounts and wage income etc, often finding huge discrepancies far beyond
their salaries.

In Addition -- Government workers
and civil servants in the Education sector are being asked to justify their
apparent wealth --- as reported from the Education Ministry who have begun a
Corruption Probe.

INDONESIA- GOVERNOR OF BANTENG IS
DETAINED -- Ratu Atut Chosiyah was detained and charged with corruption.... he
had deliberately evaded several calls for him to be questioned by the
Anticorruption Squad, the KPK in connection with two high profile corruption
cases.

INDONESIA'S POLICE INSPECTOR GENERAL
Djoko Susilo convicted of corruption had his sentence 'made heavier' by the
court who said he must serve 18 years in jail and refund the state of what he
took illegally.

TWO INDONESIA JUDGES IN BRIBERY
INVESTIGATION -- Jakarta -- The Corruption Eradication Squad KPK has named two
Judges as suspects in a bribery and corruption case involving the former Mayor
of Bandung, Dada Rosada.

INDONESIA - PARTY OFFICIAL CHARGED
WITH MONEY-LAUNDERING -- The Democratic Party Official Anas Urbaningrum was
charged with money-laundering by the KPK anticorruption squad. His arrest
has now made it possible for a wider and more thorough investigation into other
corruption allegations.

INDONESIA -POLITICIAN CHARGED WITH
CORRUPTION -- After getting him for money laundering Politician Anas Urbaningrom
of the Democratic Party was charged with corruption and money-laundering in
connection with the Hambalang Graft (bribery) case. It is said that he
could be jailed for twenty years?

INDONESIA AND THE RIVER OF DEATH --
It comes as no surprise to learn that Indonesia has the most dangerous and
dirtiest river in the World. The River Citarum, Java, is toxically
polluted by industry, and the people throw their rubbish into it. Scenes
released show plastic bottles, rubbish and worse floating on top, whilst young
boys bath and swim in it, (there are no fish, the ones seen are dead, along with
animal carcasses) only to find they have skin rashes later. This is also
the drinking water! and a report says metals in the water can cause
cancer....there is a 2009 law.....but villages interviewed say nothing much is
going on in that department due to the industry 'employing people' and making
money!

INDONESIA DEATH ROW RULING IN DOUBT
-- 'Drug conviction of UK citizen' -- Cheltenham Grandmother Mrs Sandiford,
who was sentenced to death is now being doubted by the Supreme Court in the UK
who are urging The Indonesian Judiciary to take another look at the case after
reviewing new evidence...they came to the conclusion that the new evidence was
not made available to the lower courts in Indonesia...which raises serious
issues about the Government and its policy being unlawful. The Judiciary
appear to have ignored 'substantial mitigating factors'.........well
UK.....you're on a bad wicket if you just take a look at this article and what
the law is.

POLICE CHIEF IN 'SECRET' DEAL -- In
line with much of the way that corruption permeates Indonesia, a Police Chief
attempted to defend his position over the inauguration of Commander General Budi
Gunawan, which was done 'under the radar' meaning entered into by an act of
secrecy and deceit. National Police Chief General Badrodin claimed it was
due to a scheduling conflict?....you can fool some people for some of the time,
but not all the people for all of the time.....something he seems to forget.

EXECUTIONS TO GO AHEAD IN INDONESIA
FOR DRUG OFFENDERS -- Its incredible really that this country can indulge
in executions whilst its politicians continue in corrupt activities without such
penalties being imposed on them. A report says that they have taken two
Australian convicts to the 'execution site' on an island where they will be
executed with seven others.....upsetting several countries.....and according to
their office the executions are to be done because Indonesia is suffering a
'drug emergency' situation. President Joko Widodo has refused clemency
pleas from Australia, Nigeria, The Philippines, France, Ghana and
Brazil.....he's rather good at making friends....and perhaps the souring of
relations will come back to haunt him, especially on the aid front....because
that's the first thing that ought to be cancelled on economic grounds.

INDONESIA DECLINES CLEMENCY FOR
FOREIGNERS -- The Supreme Court turned down the final appeals for the prisoners
from France and Ghana....in the 'closed door' hearings, the men will be executed
by a firing squad with the other 8 prisoners awaiting death by the 'State'

AUSTRALIA PULL OUT AMBASSADOR OVER
EXECUTIONS IN INDONESIA -- In protest and ignoring clemency pleas for two
Australian Nationals, Andrew Chan being one, Australia recalled their
Ambassador. Attorney General Muhammed Prasetyo urged that the death
sentence should be carried out without delay on the eight men (who'd been in
detention and jail for ten years on drug charges).... Indonesia's President Joko
Widodo agreed....and eight coffins accompanied the prisoners to the site of the
execution.

PS: It should be noted that
government officials guilty of corruption which there are many, have been given
'consideration' by the Indonesian courts, as can be seen by the huge amount of
corruption cases involving the government, police and military we have....and we
actually stopped recording more because they were coming in every week...and
showed no sign of abating. The KPK corruption squad look weak and can be
easily compromised by the judiciary and government...they admitted that
corruption was too widespread and have no hope of stemming it due to the lack of
support from the Indonesian Government.

INDONESIA TEACHER IN CHILD SEX CASE
-- PROSECUTOR SEEKS 12 YEARS -- although the news item refers to one lone
individual, there are two involved.... a Canadian teacher and an Indonesian
teaching assistant who have been charged with sexually abusing three young
pupils. Neil Bantleman and Ferdinant Tjiong were detained at the Jakarta
International School....and the prosecutor is seeking jail terms of 12years for
each of them.

PS: We may not be adding much more
here because these incidents go on every week....and that means corruption on an
enormous scale.......an ongoing problem that is never addressed properly......the corruption is overwhelming in this
country. It is hard to figure out why we the Western World trade with
Indonesia or give it aid, it should be stopped as any aid looks likely to go
into the pockets of corrupt politicians, army personnel and police.

What is wrong
with Indonesia? a whole lot - Activists on Human rights say and accuse
Indonesia of not wanting to relinquish its brutal grip on civil society! ......
and by what we have seen so far......that appears to be the case.....so if you
are thinking of holidaying in Indonesia......choose somewhere else.....and don't
trade with them.

'Corruption in
New Zealand? '

We initially
thought we'd leave this one out seeing as we'd featured Australia, but e-mails
from New Zealand made us reassess that situation.....and give it a whirl for the
sake of balance.

OWNER of
Megaupload. com Kim Dot-com has been allowed to sue the spy agency of New
Zealand for the routine and illegal surveillance on his home and his Internet
site. The site owner also wants the exposure of the fact that the New Zealand
Government authorised the unlawful police raid on his home. The Government
wishing to cover its tracks tried to prove by way of its lawyers in the Attorney
General's Office they were immune from legal action (as they do) but The Appeals
Court rejected the idea, and held that the Government Communications Security
Bureau was involved. The suit even got wider as it also involved the USA and
the FBI who also accused Kim Dot com of copyright infringements etc. However,
the courts did find and agree that the GCSB spied on him in the days and weeks
up to the police raid. Mr Dot com is a registered German National living and
having residency in New Zealand which makes it illegal to spy on him. Since
this espionage by the New Zealand Authorities became public, the Prime Minister
has made an apology only.......damages financially are still to be assessed and
awarded by the court.

LODGE OWNER HITS THE NEWS FOR ABUSE
-- A New Zealand Proprietor Michael Harris who runs the Main Street Lodge
house for Guests on the North Island, Kaitaia was facing 39 charges including
indecent assault, aggravated wounding through alleged drugging, and making
intimate video recordings. He is said to have committed these acts on
males..... 16 guests from 18 to 25 years of age over a period of two and a half
years. Most of the young men came from overseas and stayed at the Guest
House. The Tourist Lodge owner is accused of sexual abuse in these crimes.

CORRUPTION AND
NEW ZEALAND COPS -- Some general items here: Top Cop Superintendent Bill
Harrison retired just before police corruption was fully revealed to the
public. He was found guilty of serious misconduct, but elected quickly to take
'the retirement option' (often used by suspect cops in the UK who know that it
means a get-out and the dropping of the case against them).

WEST AUCKLAND COP
ON 6 COUNTS OF ASSAULT -- Police Officer Martin James Folan was charged with six
counts of assault and one of intent to injure in the case of beating up a youth.

SPEED COPS -- AND
38 TICKETS ISSUED AGAINST THEM -- A report shows that The Bay of Plenty Police
Dept had thirty-eight cops with no real excuse for speeding. Twenty-four of the
speed tickets were waived and fourteen officers received fines (2011).

GERMAN POLICE
REVEALED IN CORRUPTION PROBE - It seems as if many of the world countries police
forces are into corruption while their governments continually deny this. Death
Squads and taking drugs off street pushers for their own use is now an accepted
fact rather than being a one-off. Police in German cities have cops that are on
the take and using violence to rob while wearing the uniform of law and order.
Certain police stations have little networks of police gangs within their CID
units profiting from crime. Our source says that in Frankfurt and Berlin,
undercover cops are working outside the law and getting cover from uniformed
colleagues so that any investigation into them can be terminated quite quickly.
This kind of thing is so typical of the police in every country and it is
rapidly spreading.

GERMAN NAZI
ATROCITIES -- Tempted not to include the mention of the Wars...... it would be a
sin not to include mention of the Death Camps -- 15,000 people murdered every
day, mostly for sport and extinction of a race, enemy? that was how the Germans
saw it. Nothing was too brutal, and no-one was safe from their inhumane
practises --- that had no limits, millions were exterminated. Luckily due to
old newsreels and history channels it will never be forgotten and never should
be...there must never be a time this goes from their history...many of those who
did the killings on the orders of the commanders and generals escaped
justice....one must not be tricked into thinking that they were tried in courts,
only a few appeared in court despite Nazi hunters trying to locate them.

NEW RISE OF NAZI
INTEREST IN GERMANY -- A top German news magazine has revealed that the 'Nazi
Days' are not entirely gone despite what it meant in History. It says the far
Right in political circles especially from the young are attracting recruits
with its messages of racism and arrogance. DER SPIEGEL says that 'The scandal
Germany is now facing is that young Germans in the 21st Century feel the need to
be Neo-Nazis'

NAZI WAR SUSPECT CAUGHT AND CHARGED
--- Former Policeman and Concentration Camp Chief Lazlo Csatary who fled to
Canada after the war to avoid capture, was finally arrested in Hungary.
The 98 year old had managed to hide in Canada posing as an Art Dealer for over
50 years. He was always aware that Nazi Hunters were looking for him even
today thanks to a dedicated group -- The Simon Wiesenthal Centre, a Jewish
Organisation who spent its time looking for and tracking down the 'monsters' of
the Holocaust. Most people today are on the side of reconciliation and
forgetting the past atrocities, so it is good to know that Nazis still alive
will be hunted down where-ever they are. The Budapest Police Investigation
Unit said Csatary had been charged with war crimes and will go on trial in 90
days. It was said Csatary fled Canada in 1997 just before he was to
attend a deportation hearing......his citizenship was revoked. One
Holocaust Survivor Edith Salamonova remembers him clearly as a tall man with a
heart of stone, that whipped prisoners using a dog whip and beat them with his
hands. Men, women and children alike. He was charged with 'Wilfully
assisting the unlawful execution and torture of Jews sent to his Concentration
Camp from Kosice.'

' Germany
reminded about those war crimes '

GERMANY DISLIKES
THIS CONSTANT REMINDER but it will have to accept that one of its citizens did
take it to war and in doing so broke all the rules of decency by committing
crimes against humanity -- something they have to bear the responsibility of and
repay victims. Greece has recently brought this up and wants £86 billion
promised under the 1946 Paris Reparation Agreement which to date, has not been
honoured by the German people or its government. We have also discovered this to
be the same case with several other countries who are still waiting for
compensation. One fact that has emerged is that the International Court of
Justice in the Hague actually ruled that Germany was exempt from being sued in
overseas courts by sufferers of Second World War atrocities? which is an outrage
considering the barbaric acts this country engaged in when it wanted to dominate
the World. Nazi War Crimes may date from the late thirties, but thanks to
certain Jewish Association bodies, the hunt for these people still continues.
Many soldiers got away with their crimes, and it is a fact that the USA offered
some of the worst offenders asylum in return for their skills? Such is the moral
code of some countries and governments. Germany will not escape its past nor
will its future citizens enjoy a 'clean slate' -- the world has many records of
what it did, and despite the German efforts to burn evidence after the war,
there are restored films and too much evidence that can be seen on the Internet
Web Sites and Pages -- and in archives, which will be their eternal reminder.

JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT THE WAR WAS
OVER? --- The Eichmann Files are to stay a secret because of the trouble they
could cause in the World today. NAZI COMMANDER ADOLF EICHMANN considered
to be the original architect of the Holocaust who hid in Argentina after
fleeing from Germany until his arrest in 1960. Secret files still in existence
on his command are said to be too dangerous according to a German Court.
it is said that they have too much information on Nazi pasts, the mass
deportations of Jews and full details of establishment figures who helped him
during the war (which he was prepared to use if brought to trial) The Bild
Newspaper made a request to see the files and this was rejected. Lawyers
for the German Intelligence Service said the material in the documents had the
real potential to threaten state security interests and damage diplomatic ties
with international intelligence agencies around the world.

GERMAN POLICE OFFICER HELD FOR
KILLING --- The policeman was detained in Dresden on suspicion of killing a man
he met and chopping up the body. Investigators said he stabbed the
Internet Contact who had fantasies of death. City police said the suspect
showed them the yard where he buried the body....the case continues.

PRESIDENT OF GERMAN FOOTBALL CLUB IN
TAX EVASION -- The boss of Bayern Munich Football Club went on trial for a
£22million tax evasion..... Uli Hoeness, the President of the club stunned
admirers when it it the news that he was on trial. He could face up to ten
years in jail....the verdict is to be announced later it said.

NAZI GUARDS FOUND -- 20 German Nazi
guards have been traced and found by investigators, who are still alive and may
face trial. These guards were from the Death Camp at Majdanek.
Federal Prosecutor Karl Schrimm said that he would recommend that state
prosecutors pursue charges against all the men and women despite their ages.

GERMANY SAUSAGE MAKERS FINED E338
MILLION EUROS --- The fine for colluding on illegal price fixing is the
country's largest imposition....The Federal Cartel Office said the fine is to be
shared among 33 individuals and 21 companies for collusion over a 10 year period
that pushed through higher prices and made agreements on price ranges for
various products. It was announced that 11 of those companies admitted to
'wrongdoing'

NAZI 'MOST WANTED' ESCAPES JUSTICE
-- Despite hunters trying to track him down, War Criminal Alois Brunner managed
to hide away in Syria, and died in 2009 undetected. It is said that the
Nazi sent at least 128,500 people to their deaths during the Second World War.
It was revealed that Brunner died at the age of 98, having got away with his
despicable crimes. He ran into Syria in the 1950's.....and offered his
experience in torture to Syrian President Bashar al-Hassad's father in return
for shelter. In 1985 emerged briefly in a magazine, saying he should have
murdered more Jews. He then fearing detection and disappeared into the
Syrian wilderness.

GERMAN POLICE OFFICER JAILED FOR
MURDER -- A Cop who went on an Internet forum chat room devoted to the subject
of cannibalism specifically to exact his own justice, was sentenced to eight
years and six months in prison at the Regional Court in Dresden. Officer
Detley Guenzel was found guilty of killing his victim, cutting the body into
pieces and burying it in the garden of his guesthouse. (update to previous story
recorded)

' Once
thought pleasant and ideal, but here's another story '

PHILIPPINES MAN
BRINGS DOWN MORAL VALUES OF NATION --- It is quite sad to report this in the
light we often see Filipinos as nice gentle Asians who deserve better. But one
man, working in the UK as a nurse, described as being a pleasant family man,
showed that violence is something easily resorted to when he assaulted an old
frail woman in a nursing home, that is suffering from dementia. Jonathan
Aqino.30, was filmed on a secret camera casually slapping the woman several
times. The disgraceful incident has resulted in four other Asian workers being
dismissed and him going to jail for eighteen months. The judge said ' It is
distressing for anybody to have to watch this footage, this poor woman had been
transferred to the home in the hope that she should receive proper care and
attention, but you didn't believe she needed that and abused her' The case
received UK National TV coverage....Aquino is lucky that he didn't commit this
in Asia, Singapore or Malaysia, where he would have most certainly had a caning
added to his jail term. Deportation was mentioned as being sought at the end of
his time in prison.

FORMER
PHILIPPINES PRESIDENT ON CORRUPTION CHARGES -- Former President Gloria Macapagal
Arroyo was arrested again in the third indictment case. She has been charged
with corruption - this being her second detention since stepping down from the
Presidency. The Anti-Graft Court ordered her arrest for the misuse of almost
ten million dollars of state lottery funds during her last years in office.

MILLIONS IN STATE
FUNDS LOST IN UNAUTHORISED EXPENSES -- In connection with the above story -- The
National Philippines Audit showed there were 4,000 cases of unaccounted cash
advances, unauthorised expenses and abandoned projects in government -- 101.82
billion pesos (3.02 billion dollars) amounting to over five per cent of the
State Budget gone during President Arroyo's term in office. This was the result
of an Investigation into 61,000 government agencies in the Philippines?

PHILIPPINES STILL
HAVE DEATH PENALTY - yet another Asian member of the 'let's kill them, it saves
on jail time' brigade lovingly adhere to by Singapore and Malaysia. It's war
with the USA in 1899 amazingly revealed the atrocities, despite them losing of
course. However, the Philippines might have improved, but behind the eager
attempts to nurture capitalism, there is still the attraction of Paedophiles
that continue to lurk among its folk!

PHILIPPINES COPS
IN EXAM CHEATING -- Police taking exams have been discovered cheating a report
says, Thirteen officers have been dismissed and 350 other officers are under
investigation. The National Police Commission announced that they had
'invalidated' the exam results of 386 officers in Zamboanga, finding that many
of them had given the same wrong answers in their written exam papers. A
spokesman said the cheating had only been discovered in recent weeks, and may
have been overlooked many times before. The exams are set for officers,
would-be officers and officers seeking promotion.

PHILIPPINES
POLICE SHOOTOUT KILLS 3 CORRUPT COPS IN GANG -- Manila, three members of a gang
were police it is stated, and they were shot dead by ambush cops in Antimonan
Town south of Manila. One dead cop was named as Senior Superintendent Alfredo
Consemino, the other two cops are merely described as aides. The shootout
happened when a road block was set up and that triggered a shootout with the 13
man gang.

16 PHILIPPINES
TOP COPS CHARGED WITH MISCONDUCT --- Sixteen senior police officers have been
charged in connection with the buying of 59,904 firearms, violating the
anti-graft and corrupt practices act in the offices of the ombudsman says a
report on the 8th of Jan 2013.

ACCUSED MAN
SHOOTS PROSECUTOR DEAD IN COURT -- A State Prosecutor in Manila was shot dead
(along with a Doctor) inside a Philippines Courtroom. A 66yr old Canadian pulled
out a gun just before the hearing started and killed the lawyer at point blank
range.....and then shot himself as he left the court. No-one can explain the
lack of security that allowed a man to carry a gun into court?

PHILIPPINES TAKE
CHINA TO UN COURT --- Foreign Secretary Albert Del Rosario confirmed that their
Country has taken China to a UN Tribunal Court over the disputed territory with
China in the South China Seas,... he said they had exhausted political and
diplomatic avenues in order to get a peaceful solution --- both China and the
Philippines are signed to the 1982 Convention Treaty on the Law of the Sea.

PHILIPPINES SHOW
THEY CAN GO LOWER --- This country have yet another addition to how low they can
sink, and it is the cruel and unpleasant interest of 'horse-fighting' calling it
a sport? backed by gambling fanatics that have no conscience at all. Greed and
intolerance towards animals survives in this country because of the ignorance so
commonly practised by those who pretend to be moral. This only reflects another
more sad and damaging side to their inhumanity that should be exposed here. It
is said in a report that the government are reluctant to enforce the law, and
have to be pressured by outside nations before they act...which is a sad
indictment to a country once thought as gentle and nice!........perhaps they are
heading towards another war?

'South Korea --
President's brother jailed 2 years for corruption '

24/1/2013 -- LAW
MAKER Lee Sang Deuk, brother of the country's President, Lee Myung Bak, was
convicted of corruption and found guilty of accepting substantial bribes from
bankers and businessmen amounting to millions. His activities were linked to a
major corruption scandal in 2011, when four Savings Banks had their trading
suspended for inadequate liquidity, which then led to the authorities putting in
force a wider probe by the police who eventually arrested the President's
brother and led to his court appearance.

'North Korea -- and the Nuclear
Weapons Threat '

NORTH KOREA once again is advancing
its programme of nuclear weapons. The US Intelligence Agency says that
despite previous threats of war posed against America and South Korea, the
secret dictatorship regime has expanded its uranium enrichment at its Nyongbyon
Complex and restarted a plutonium reactor shutdown in 2007. Despite nearly
going to war with a show of Missile strength, the regime is still wanting a
nuclear weapon.

NORTH KOREA AND THE HUMAN RIGHTS
ABUSE -- Their prison camps are currently holding around 120,000 people. A
UN Report laid out widespread abuses including a harsh system of political
prison camps. The false face of friendliness has brought the reaction from
observers saying the attempt by Pyongyang to show openness as both ridiculous
and remarkable. This is the country that wants no contact with Western
ways and hates America...apart from its threats to its neighbour South Korea.

NORTH KOREA GET CALL FROM PUTIN THEN
THREATEN NUCLEAR TEST --- The fact that Russia and Putin are
getting friendly with Kim Jong-un comes as no surprise really, as Putin made
similar strides into China, who we know support North Korea. North Korea's
threat to continue with a new nuclear test coincides with news that the UN
General assembly allowed and approved measures for their human rights abuses to
be taken to the International Criminal Court. (2014 Nov)

NORTH KOREAN EMBASSY OFFICIAL
ORDERED TO LEAVE BANGLADESH --- An official from the North Korean Embassy was
caught with $1.4million of unauthorised gold he had smuggled in using his
diplomatic status when he set foot on the Airport tarmac at Dhaka. Son
Young Nam, the First Secretary was ordered to leave the country after arriving
from Singapore....and went through 'the nothing to declare' channel where he was
detained for a search. It is suggested he probably was going to change the
gold for hard currency because of sanctions against North Korea who cannot
benefit from the International Currency Financial system.

' Spotlight On
Russia -- and it's Suppression '

RUSSIA AND
CORRUPTION -- The Russian Defence Minister Anately Serdyukov has been dismissed
by Putin because he is linked to a corruption scandal a report says. Corruption
scandals in Russia are not that new, even though most go unreported. It says
there was an Investigation into the Defence Ministry and as a result the Defence
Minister was fired.

RUSSIAN BROTHEL
SECRET IS UNCOVERED -- It was found to be on the grounds of a Moscow Monastery
-- The Orthodox Church is said to be furiously engaged in suppressing the media
on what the police uncovered in one of the most prestigious monasteries in
Russia. Not far from the Federal Security Service, the ancient institution - '
hotel for lovers' was found operating out of a building belonging to the
Monastery. Although it's reputation was already common knowledge, the
authorities are pretending otherwise.

PROTESTORS SENT
TO HARSHEST PRISON -- Russia, in it's attempt to silence dissenters have sent
the two girls convicted 'politically' of a riot -- performing a song in a
Church, have been sent 800 miles from Moscow to prisons which have the harshest
conditions. Nadezhda Tolokonnikova was sent to a prison in Mordovia, referred
to as 'the camp of hell' by inmates. Maria Alyokhina has been sent to a prison
in the Ural Mountains.................... obviously to teach them as lesson not
to mess around with Putin!

RUSSIAN ACTIVISTS
JAILED have been supported by demonstrators in Moscow who want the dozen people
released from jail.

RUSSIAN JUDGE IS
DISMISSED -- A Judge who was videoed asleep during a case was sacked. Judge
Yevgeny Makhno of Blagovshechensk City was forced to resign after being filmed
by a defence lawyer who posted the phone video pictures online.

COLD WAR AND
RUSSIA NOT OVER? --- More and more news out of Russia points to bad things on
the way in this 21st Century, Putin is stepping back into the days of assertive
reactionary measures that lead to conflict and war, and shows little bother over
this. But as we already know, he has backed China to such an extent that they
know he will need them in any exchange with the West. A recent case as revealed
that The Russian secret Services had no qualms about kidnapping a person in a
neighbour country despite sovereignty or borders. This kind of thing was
thought to be fiction and stuff of spy films...but for Russian dissident Leonid
Razvozzhayer who thought he was safe in the Ukraine, the reality arrived, and he
was snatched by a the Russian Squad who took him to the border where they met
others in the plot and he now languishes in a Moscow jail. This certainly
proves that Russia has no regard for borders, much like its old days when it
thought it could wipe out the West and dominate as many people they can. Many
suspect Putin is bringing back the old regime in revenge for Russia being
considered no longer a threat by the USA. The dissident has claimed he was
beaten and tortured in order to sign a confession....the sad part here is that
the Ukraine actively or passively admitted that they knew he had been kidnapped
offering the feeble explanation - 'it was an appropriate police action'

CAN WE BE SURE? Well,
according to a two page article in a November newspaper (in 2013) the answer
seems to be NO...... because it is assumed by one and all when in fact, there is
no real proof of it. The threat of war with Russia has not vanished
forever, and in some ways now, Putin looks to be sizzling ahead for that
situation to be finally achieved. In 1983 it was the closest to Atomic War
no holds barred as America pushed the pen-ultimate standby button for a nuclear
launch against Russia in response to aggression and moves by the Russians to
Attack the Western World. Luckily say some, it was just a Military Drill
Exercise?

Invading
sovereign territory in order to commit a crime has been already experienced by
the UK....when Russian Secret Services had a contract killer murder one man
using a radio-active substance in a cup of tea in a cafe, and yet again with a
millionaire at his secured estate. Alexander Perepilichny was found dead in
strange circumstances -- who had fled from Russia after he turned on a Russian
Crime Syndicate and gave evidence. A report says a Russian Police Official
warned the man he was on a hit-list. Tests here at the forensics are looking to
see if he was poisoned. Another Russian businessman was gunned down at
London's Canary Wharf....and of course the famous case of the poisoning of
Alexander Litvinenko a former KGB man who fled to Britain in 2006. When PM
Cameron visited Putin in Russia and demanded to have the suspect who escaped
back to Russia, he was bluntly told that it would never happen! no matter what.
In another case of 'murder by the state' sixty Russian Officials were implicated
in corporate fraud and a lawyers murder (the case of Sergei Magnitsky) - who was
beaten to a pulp in a cell. Those sixty officials have been banned entry to
the USA. The Scam uncovered by Sergei was a £150 million scam...who was labelled
'a threat to national security' The scam he said was a product of a circle of
interior and tax ministry officials who had conspired in the fraud.

RUSSIAN LAWYER
ACCUSED OF CONSPIRACY BY STATE TV -- This surrounds the trial of Sergei
Magnitsky, accusing the dead 'whistle-blowing' lawyer and his bosses of
conspiracy involving Britain's MI6. The Posthumous trial -- the news says
- 'appears to be a vitriolic rear-guard action by the Russian State' It was
leaked that the lawyer was locked up in prison, refused medical treatment, was
mistreated, and died in 2009.

DID RUSSIA REACH
OUT TO SILENCE ARCH ENEMY? -- They've done it before, and have the capabilities
and know how to get away with it. Putin's 'thorn at his side' former friend
Boris Berezovsky who fled to Britain after many attempts on his life, was
mysteriously found dead in his Berkshire Home. The multi-millionaire in exile
has long challenged the Russian Leader. The Police said they found nothing and
put it down to suicide after finding him with a ligature around his neck.....but
three other exiled Russians were killed off in circumstances that had remarkable
expertise stamped over them -- Alexander Perepilichnvy died whilst jogging near
his Weybridge Mansion and he was assisting Swiss Prosecutors in a case against a
Russian Official. Arkady Patarkatsishvili was found dead in his Surrey mansion
and he was linked to Russian Political Scandals.... and we have Alexander
Litvinenko died after having his tea laced with radio-active poisoning at a
meeting in London with two fellow Russian KGB spies......all these men told
police they feared murder attempts by the Kremlin.

RUSSIA ENCOURAGES SOCIETY TO HARM
THOSE IT DOESN'T APPROVE OF -- A lot like the Nazis and the persecution of the
Jews, Putin's Laws are actively encouraging the public to seek out and eliminate
'gays' in its homophobic drive to ethnic cleansing. Sordid photos in the
International Press show a gay man on the ground surrounded by so-called good
citizens kicking and punching the victim, and there is even a boy of around 10
being encouraged by the adults to follow this criminal act......Russia's people
may not want conflict, but its government headed by Putin is certainly committed
to riding through a 'cold war' situation and causing the next one...... and
recent activity via communicate leaks show them to be buying more arms and
weaponry!

PS A cable shows that they
increased their financial budget to increase their missile and rocket power. and
were also engaged in secret talks with the Chinese during 2012 to merge in
intelligence. Putin sent a team from the High Command to work with China's
Military...their aim -- to compromise NATO.

DODGY DEALINGS IN RUSSIA? as Sochi
Games costs get higher -- A report tells us that the 2014 Winter Games may be
extraordinarily expensive as Russia seeks to create an improved image to the
West. Talk of corruption being widespread and workers rights being
violated abound.... the cost of presenting the Games at Sochi are already
estimated to be $51 billion dollars, proving it to be as yet, the most expensive
show of this kind.

RUSSIA HIJACK GREENPEACE BOAT ---
And charge people with 'Protest Piracy'.....Yes, Putin's Government forcefully
grabbed the Greenpeace ship as it protested near an oil platform. 30
protestors from the International community were on board as armed Russians made
their threatening attack. The Russian Coastguard seized the ship in
September 2013. The 'arrested' people are being held in jails in Murmansk.
Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev urged that they adopt tougher penalties for
trespass on Russian Territory. The crew have been charged with piracy
which could result in a 15 year sentence. Perhaps the 'hijacking' of a
Russian ship might be an idea to see how Russia reacts to their crew being
detained in a foreign jail....for months and years.

RUSSIA CONTINUES TO HARASS
GREENPEACE -- Not content with 'piracy' claims in Russia are alleging that they
found drugs on board the ship, and that they are considering extra
charges....yet we hear in a report that in actuality, Russia may dismiss all of
this provided they can be seen to have 'made an example of these people for the
outside world to see '.......which means it all comes down to a 'power thing'

DUTCH DIPLOMAT ASSAULTED IN HIS FLAT
IN RUSSIA --- Tensions between Russia and the Dutch has flared up as two
'unidentified' Russian men beat up the Diplomat Onne Elderenboach. This
attack uncannily follows the incident of Russian Diplomat Dmitry Borodin who
said he had been beaten by police in The Hague, and had briefly been
detained....which sparked a row between the Netherlands and Russia!

JAILED RUSSIAN RIGHTS PROTESTOR
CALLS FOR BOYCOTT --- Boycott the Russian Games says the jailed Pussy Riot girl.
She is asking the world countries to boycott the 2014 Winter Olympic Games to be
hosted by Russia. Yekaterina Samutsevich now free after serving her jail
sentence imposed by the authorities who have recently 'tightened the screws' on
freedom among the citizens urged all countries to stay away and withdraw their
athletes. This is not the first time for Russia -- In 1980 they were
boycotted at the Moscow Olympics when dozens of nations pulled out.

RUSSIAN ACTIVIST IS JAILED -- Amid
the Olympics Charade and Propaganda, Putin's Russia continues its crackdown on
Activists and Protestors. Activist Yevgeny Vitishko, who said that
environmental damage had been caused in Sochi by the hurried construction was
sentenced to three years in prison. It should be noted that this man was a
Geologist......Human Rights Watch said this was a politically motivated move,
not proportional to the supposed crime.

CONCENTRATION CAMP RUSSIA -- That is
how Greenpeace observer Kieron Bryan (freelance journalist) and a female
Protestor associate described the prisons in Russia......' Rats and terrible
conditions' .... they said that the prisoners they met showed 'more humanity'
than the guards and prison staff........showing the
International Community the reality of Putin's rule -- a man who jailed a
billionaire who went politically against him..... having him put away for ten
years. Even Greenpeace said that they could have got 6 years in prison for
'hooliganism' the charge brought by the Russian Authorities. Concentration
camps was the Hitler Nazi way of detaining people you don't like, and one
remembering that the Germans hit Russia in WW2 using barbaric methods... one can
see why Russia uses similar methods now... the legacy has made them wanting to
hit back at all countries west of them. The release of Greenpeace
detainees is a move to avert another 'Winter Olympic Sports' like the one in
1980.

RUSSIA ATTEMPTS TO START WAR --
Putin flexed his muscles and prompted the prospect of World War Three as he
committed an act of Aggression using the Ukraine as a starting move. Putin
has long smouldered with hate that Russia is not on top...and over recent years
he has taken chances to annoy and work against the West in a show of
strength....some say because of the UN and how close it is around Russia's
border. The Ukraine wants to be in the EU, and that didn't sit well with
pro-Russians who like Putin want power to challenge other countries. Putin
sent in soldiers and the Navy which held Ukraine captive...he had no worries
about the USA and the International community....and even when they said he
would pay the price for this, he warned the West that he still held the upper
hand and retaliate.......luckily he has pulled back.....and waits for when the
time is right?

As one US reporter said, 'The Cold
War Situation could well be back'

NB: ordinary
citizens around the world do not welcome war in this time, but it becomes quite
evident that several countries rulers and politicians are about to engage in
this..... and it will happen....and the victims will be the people, and what
follows is famine, food shortages, economic devastation and subjugation....this
will be the prize they seek....all because of power, just as it was in the
Second World war......... we will not escape this..... Russia have always sought
war as a goal.....and Putin is likely to bring this about.

PUTIN EAGER TO START WORLD WAR THREE
--- Ukraine now a hotspot of Russian Interest, has accused the Russian leader of
wanting to start the next World War.....and this might not be far from the
truth. Russia is playing quite a Military role around the Ukraine and
taking no notice of the West, a former and present enemy in the Cold War when
Russia was about to chance itself on waging a war with America. Recent
history shows us that the next war could certainly be with China or
Russia....and Putin is very angered by NATO who are very much present around
them. Putin has already said he aims to ignore sanctions and will
retaliate....and this leaves one question, is he ready to take Russia to
War.....and be the man who started World War Three?

FIVE MEN CONVICTED OF 2006 MURDER --
The murder of critic/journalist Anna Politkovskaya who was shot dead, led to
fears that these were the risks facing Russians who criticised the Kremlin.
A lawyer who has waited years for this guilty verdict said 'The murder
will only be solved when the name of the person who ordered it is known'
The killing was notable for its 'contract style' which the state wasn't willing
to accept.

RUSSIA MILITARY EXERCISES IN BALTIC
ARE IN RESPONSE TO NATO -- Russia and Nato are not what you'd call on the
friendly side, especially as NATO are close to Russian Borders. So Russia
responded with Military exercises in the Baltic because Nato were having drills
in parts of Eastern Europe, which was a response to Moscow's intervention in
Ukraine.

RUSSIA DEFIES SANCTIONS AND SIGNS
HUGE DEAL WITH CHINA -- Not unexpected, CHINA and Russia 'Cold War Alliances
revisited' sign £237 billion deal to sell oil in China amid West sanctions.
It was said that Putin got a warm welcome in Beijing when he arrived for talks.
Putin said 'China is our reliable friends' and we know what he means by
that.......China is the dark Enemy on the horizon and Russia will be there to
lend a hand.

RUSSIA AND ITS ILLEGAL BIOLOGICAL
WEAPON PROGRAMME --- In 1990 it emerged that Russia had been secretly engaged in
an extensive weapons programme of nerve gas, toxin and other such as airborne
and water weapons... that are now looked on as similar to nuclear devices and
weapons of mass destruction. It would only take 30 grams of anthrax spores
delivered in one warhead to kill 80,000 or 100,000 people in an area of 10
kilometres. The Russians were taking this chemical programme to a more
advanced level until it was eventually discovered.... and Yeltsin finally
admitted to having this when confronted by the West and the USA, He issued
a decree ending it? However, this isn't the ending of this story, because
Russia up to this day have never provided convincing proof that the programme
had been fully dismantled, and as yet, this has not been provided or asked
for??..... so it is quite likely that they resumed it 'secretly' under Putin
once the furore was over, and now they probably have it ready!

RUSSIA ACCUSED OF INVOLVEMENT IN AIR
STRIKE -- Considering that they back a pro-Russian Militia in the
Ukraine, and have provided the group with support and arms....many countries are
now pointing the finger at Russia over the passenger plain from the Nederland
being shot down by a missile (Russian made). Despite posturing from Putin,
Europe and the West are being hampered and denied access to the crash site by
masked 'soldiers' of the pro-Russian group....and black flight boxes were seized
by them to be taken to Russia....apart from this the site has been 'damaged' and
flight investigators say that this could be damaging and destroying
evidence....one man from the International team said when he approached a masked
soldier he was told not to move any further towards the crash site, and when he
asked why...the soldier said 'you are unarmed and I have the gun, that's why'
The Plane was Malaysian....and the boxes were handed over only after numerous
calls.

RUSSIA MOVES A STEP CLOSER TO THE
COLD WAR STAND OFF -- Putin looks set on returning Russia to the past and the
'Cold War' status of being the enemy to watch. NATO has announced that it
is going to step up its military capability, and is calling on its member
nations to provide support so that it can fend off any threat from warmongering
Russia. A spokesperson said ' it had looked at the situation of Russia and
its military and sees the need to step up its own capability to confront Putin's
war machine and keep the Nato countries safe'

RUSSIA MIGHT BE REOPENING MILITARY
BASE IN CUBA? -- Russia and Cuba.... is Russia trying to repeat History to
infuriate the West and in particular the USA. News says a provisional
agreement has been made with Cuba to re-open the Soviet Base where they used to
do their spying on the US and intercept calls. Putin may be heading for
more conflict than he thinks he can deal with....not everyone will back
down....so beware USSR.

RUSSIA GETS ANGRY OVER COURT ORDER
TO PAY £30 BILLION IN DAMAGES -- Russia intends to appeal against a ruling
in the International Court ordering them to pay compensation of £30 billion to
oil shareholders. The Court ruled that Russia had launched a series of
'politically motivated attacks' on the oil company Yukos aimed to destroy it
through spurious bankruptcy proceedings. They said the Russian courts,
'subverted by Moscow' had targeted the majority shareholder, Mikhail
Khodorkovsky who had spent nearly ten years in a Siberian jail, because he was
clearly a political competitor to Putin. The Hague Court said that it was
clear that Moscow intended to strip the company of its assets and seize
everything, claiming the law had done its thing.

RUSSIA'S CYNICAL ACT OF HELP --
Whoever thought sending a convoy of aid into the Ukraine must have been heavily
on the Vodka in Moscow.....it showed a kind of farcical childishness that all
might be forgiven...if Russia had the face of being concerned. But nobody
fell for it, least the Ukraine who barred the huge convoy from entering its
territory, it wanted nothing of the aid and definitely not from Russia!

RUSSIA RETALIATES AGAINST WEST WITH
'ONE YEAR SANCTION' -- Putin and his government have put a year ban on food
imports from the West, including Europe and the USA......as yet another round of
the 'new cold war' now takes place officially. This move now shows
clear indication that Russia is now not recognised and is out of the World
G8.....it will be interesting to see if they keep their seat in the World Forum.

RUSSIA JAILS THREE ANTI-PUTIN
PROTESTORS -- Putin abides no dissenters and three such protestors were jailed
for up to three and a half years for making a protest against the dictator
leader. It is said that this is part of the Kremlin strategy to stifle
free speech and return Russia to the cold war days. Police detained 400 in
2012 for protesting... a fourth protestor received a three year suspended
sentence.

RUSSIA TALKS OF NUCLEAR WARNING TO
WEST -- As Putin steers his country back into another cold war situation without
any thought of how long it took previous leaders to achieve good relations,
Putin made references to Russia's nuclear arsenal and warned the West not to
mess with him. Sounding more like Hitler every other week, the dictator
has warned off the West from attempting to support the Ukraine in efforts
to defeat Russian Separatists. The Russian leader has also been annoyed
that NATO has stepped up its military observation jets along the Russian
borders and prepares to hold more exercises in EU Military drills.

PUTIN THREATENS SANCTIONS AGAINST EU
--- Russia led by dictator Putin attacked the West again, especially Europe over
new sanctions imposed by the EU. These new sanctions brought a swift
reaction in that Russia would hit back with possible bans on imported cars and
textiles....and even go as far as banning Western and European flights flying
over Siberia.

PUTIN CALLS FOR DEEPER TIES
WITH NORTH KOREA -- Typically, Putin has now publically shown he intends to pile
on the anti-west pressure by calling Kim Jong-un the leader of North Korea, one
of the most secretive and dangerous dictatorships at present for closer ties.
Putin already has made strong ties with China, an ally and protector of North
Korea....indicating his own anti-west stance and intention to begin a new cold
war or something far more dangerous.

RUSSIA THREATENS WEST WITH GAS
CUT-OFF --- Putin racked up his anti-west cold war attitude to telling Europe
and the west that he will cut off gas supplies in a bid to show himself a
dictator who can take on the World.....much like a rising Hitler.
The Western Press are dubbing him as being like a '20th Century tyrant'

RUSSIA AND CHINA MARCH TOGETHER ON
HUGE MILITARY PARADE - to show their Military Might to the Western World while
purporting to claim that it was to mark the event of them defeating Hitler and
the Nazis. Putin's special guest was the China Leader.......several other
Western countries stayed away from the event.

' Criminal
element in Military and Police 'expect' to escape Columbian Courts '

UN ADVISORS HAVE
EXPRESSED SHOCK at proposals to 'excuse' crimes committed by Columbia's Military
Personnel and Police Service. It is stated that many charges against both of
these services are Murder and Torture? Yet they fully expect to be untouchable
in the eyes of the law. This rare joint letter outlining the proposals to let
these bodies get away with crimes against the people has annoyed teams who wish
to have people properly accountable and dealt with....just like the War Crimes
Court....yet the Columbian Government led by President Juan Manuel Santos has
suggested that this fact be brushed aside. UN Human Rights have written to the
President calling him to reconsider this and instead, expand the power of
Military Tribunals to investigate and prosecute all criminal offences including
those of police officers. They said these cases should remain under the
jurisdiction of the civilian courts as this proposal could seriously undermine
the administration of justice especially concerning violations by the Military
and Police - as the World would now be observing via the Internet -- something
the President should be aware of these days unlike the old days when it was
hushed up.

' ITALY
PROSECUTOR JAILED FOR CORRUPTION '

PROSECUTING
LAWYER GIULIANO MIGNINI of Perugia was convicted of corruption and sent to jail
for 16 months charged with criminal abuse of his position. The court heard how
he used his legal position to harass investigators and journalists alike,
initiated wire taps and fabricated charges against journalists in a series of
bogus investigations to keep them off his back. The Prosecutor was able to
steer police movement away from himself even though suspicions had already been
raised about his conduct. Being a lawyer protected him from an outright arrest,
and he used this power to delay proceedings enabling him to thwart and confuse
those who were seeking to look into his corrupt activities.

ITALY -- DEFENCE
GROUP CHAIRMAN ARRESTED FOR CORRUPTION -- Chief Executive & Chairman Giuseppe
Orsi found himself arrested in a corruption probe, surrounding the sale of 12
helicopters to India. News coming out from Italy states that the arrest is in
connection with bribery, and that three others have been placed under house
arrest.

NB: Revealed also
was that there have been a series of corruption scandals in the Corporate Sector
of late, and it is fast becoming an issue in the country's elections to be held
on February the 24th to 25th 2013.

ITALY --
Restoration commissioner held on corruption charges. Pompeii restoration moves
were compromised as police arrested the commissioner for corruption, five others
are also being investigated.

ITALY -- Former
Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi went in front of the television cameras
and told the viewers that 'paying bribes to companies in order to gain big
contracts' is an acceptable part of International business. he said if one
practises this morality stand you can't be a businessman at international level,
these bribes do exist, and you cannot ignore the necessity'

ITALIAN PRIEST
ARRESTED OVER £3.4 MILLION THEFT -- Catholic Priest Father Franco Decaminada,
the former chief executive of the Rome IDI Hospital was placed under house
arrest......it was said that he had run up debts of £600million that forced the
hospital into bankruptcy. Police seized a farmhouse in Tuscan they say was
bought with the stolen money.

MILAN's POLICE
CHIEF CHARGED WITH MURDER - Police Chief Francesco Fories was arrested in
connection with the murder of Vito Ferrarese. He is also charged with
instigating a cover-up and pressurizing colleagues not to incriminate him in the
murder. Five other officers were also arrested for corruption.

MILAN - ITALIAN
POLITICIAN SLASHES PENSIONER'S TYRES, says ' other people have done worse' as
defence when questioned about the incident. Politician Antonio Piazza is among
the politicians who have a reputation for their inability to apologise, says the
report -- apparently he had parked his Jaguar car in a 'disabled bay' reserved
for this. He was politely asked to move by a police officer, but returned later
to find a car there, took out a knife and ripped holes in the vehicle's tyres.
However, he failed to notice security cameras filming everything.......he was
later fined eighty euros.

ITALY'S PRIME MINISTER SILVIO
BERLUSCONI is sentenced to 7 years in jail after being found guilty of an
'under-age' sex crime. The Three time PM of Milan was banned from public
office by the court for abusing his office and trying to conceal the offence.
Some observers are saying that Berlusconi will not see the inside of a jail at
all as he can now launch two appeals that are likely to go on for years!

30 COUNCILLORS IN ITALY DOING FALSE
CLAIMS FOR BOGUS MEETINGS -- A report issued says that thirty councillors have
been inventing 100's of bogus meetings in order to pocket the
expenses....claiming 10,000 Euros each. When angry citizens got to hear of
it, they marched on the town hall of Agrigento to get them dismissed. It
says Police and prosecutors are now investing the thirty officials.

' Court
Prosecutor suspended after caning youths '

ULRICH BACHRINGER,
COURT PROSECUTOR in Dusseldorf found himself appearing in court charged with
administering corporal punishment to 22 juvenile delinquents. He chose to cane
them bare-bottomed instead of prosecutions and carried out ' the sentences' at
their homes telling the parents all charges would be dropped against the boys.
He was suspended as ' a juvenile prosecutor ' and given a suspended one year
jail sentence. The judge dropped the charge of ' perverting the course of
justice' in favour of cutting Bachringer's pay by half.

' Swedish Judge
with Rent Boy keeps his Job '

ONE OF SWEDEN'S
SUPREME COURT JUDGE'S - JUDGE LEIF THORSSON is to keep his job despite having
confessed to paying a rent boy for sex. He initially denied the allegation then
changed his mind when it looked as if he was going to be charged with breaking
the law. His resignation has been demanded by Anne Ramberg, General Secretary
of the Swedish Bar Council. ' It has harmed the reputation of the Swedish
Supreme Court, The judge paid a fine of 40,000 kronor, which is said avoids a
trial.

ONCE POWERFUL
POLITICIAN JAQUES CHIRAC is due to appear in a Paris court charged with
embezzlement. He is accused of defrauding the French taxpayer of £2million
between 1977 and 1995. The report says that these charges have been brought by
two anti-corruption groups who have declared themselves as civil plaintiffs.

' Smuggling
French Politician ends up in jail '

COUNCILLOR
CHRISTIANE CHACAT was jailed for her part in smuggling immigrants into the U.K.
She was jailed for three years by Portsmouth Crown Court. She and her son,
Benjamin smuggled 16 Vietnamese migrants using a hired van in a journey from
Cherbourg to England. The prominent French politician flew in the face of her
own authorities who are currently making a stand on cutting down on illegal
immigrants.

'French accuse
Mittal of telling shameful lies '

LIES - ARCELOR
MITTAL was accused by French Minister Arnaud Montebourg, and said France no
longer wanted Mittal in their country because they have no decent respect for
the French People. The war on words intensified between the two men as Chief
executive Lakshmi Mittal (Britain's Richest Man) planned to close two of
France's blast furnaces at Florange when a promise to keep them open had been
made previously with Mittal.

FRENCH IMF CHIEF
IMPLICATED IN ADIDAS FRAUD --- Christine Lagarde, was accused of 'Misconduct in
Public Office' The Anti-Fraud Police in France raided the home of a former
close associate of the International Monetary Fund Chief in connection with an
investigation into 'embezzlement'.

FRENCH NARCOTICS POLICE OFFICER ON
THEFT SUSPICION --- The un-named officer is under formal investigation on
suspicion of stealing more than 50 kilos of cocaine from the police headquarters
in Paris. He was also placed under arrest on suspicion of drug
trafficking and money laundering.

POLICE ON TRIAL IN FRENCH
'ELECTROCUTION' CASE -- Two un-named (back to that old game as seen above)
police officers have gone on trial in Rennes charged with failing in their legal
responsibility to help those in danger.....regarding the deaths of two
'minority' teenagers in 2005 (Zyed Benna and Bouna Traore). Some say this
case has been beleaguered by official delays and police tactics to derail it
over the past ten years, and it certainly looks that way.

FRENCH MILITARY AND THE SEXUAL ABUSE
OF BOYS -- France's Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian urged any soldiers
involved in alleged sexual abuses on boys in the Central African Republic to
come forward in order to limit the damage it was inflicting on the French
Military Image. He described his disgust to reporters of reading a report
detailing accusations of displaced children and persons having been sexually
abused at a camp managed by French soldiers involving boys as young as nine.
He says the Authorities are now Investigating it.

CORPORAL PUNISHMENT STILL GOING ON
IN FRANCE -- A report has revealed that smacking children for misbehaviour is
still going on despite rumours over the past forty or so years that nothing of
this sort was happening in France. And we now find that French law does
not prohibit the parents and others from using corporal punishment on children.
A Rights group who brought this out in the open said France was not doing enough
to end it as it is violating the European social charter. the 47 member
council of Europe have slammed France for failing to ban this completely. (2015
March) It said that besides smacking their was use of other instruments.

'Iceland's Former
Prime Minister found Guilty '

FOUND GUILTY OF
NEGLIGENCE - Former Prime Minister Geir Haarde was found guilty of negligence in
regard to the Bank Crisis in 2008 when UK savers lost £3 billion in Iceland
Banks, causing councils and charities to endure crippling financial losses.
Haarde is apparently, the only country leader to face prosecution over the
crisis....but there is not going to be any punishment imposed!! He walked away
from the court unrelenting as the guilty verdict meant nothing to him --- as he
is immune from penal or financial sentences.

' Dutch Diplomat
jailed for spying (for Russia)'

THE HAGUE
DISTRICT COURT sentenced Diplomat Raymond Poeteray to 12 years in prison after
finding him guilty of passing confidential Nato and European classified
documents to Russian Agents. The Judges said that he had damaged the interests
of the Dutch State and its allies, which had been going on for several years
with the involvement of the Russian Federation. They said he did this purely
for profit and the pursuit of wealth....There was no comment from the Russian
Government.

' Ireland's
church-run Workhouse Scandal'

LIKE AUSTRALIA,
IRELAND REFUSED TO OWN UP FOR ITS PAST and continued down a road of denial for a
great many years in the hope that it would either go away, disappear into the
past, or people would not talk about it anymore.....strangely, this is the
common element with governments and citizens when faced with something awful
lurking in their 'cellar'.....keeping it locked away, trapped, or building over
it never really works in the long run.....the truth will eventually come out,
maybe not all of it (as we well know), but enough to stir things up.

So let us look at
this case.........Humiliation, Exploitation, may cover some of the deeds carried
out in the name of Christ, the Nuns thought so, along with abuse both physical
and mental. From 1922 to 1996, Ten Thousand girls and women were subjugated to
appalling treatment ignored by the Irish Government, some say they knew but
preferred not to admit it or do anything about it. These workhouse laundries
were said to house females from the early age of 9yrs to the oldest at 89. Work
was compulsory, unpaid, and refusal meant punishment....the Sisters did not
tolerate anyone challenging their authority. These women were labelled as
'fallen women' or 'morally troubled' or mere orphans who wandered the streets in
search of finding care, but what they found was 'evil'.....or 'evil' found them,
and whisked them off to be imprisoned behind high walls where nobody could see
what was going on. It is said that these places became more 'prison-like'
despite no-one ever being sentenced for a crime.....the only crime being
committed was being done by the Government and Church....and they were too
powerful to be hauled up before a court and stand trial.....The Irish Government
was 'immune' from the Legal Framework.....because they considered themselves the
law!

It says that
little physical treatment was recognised (wrong) and admits to only 'verbal' and
'put-downs' on the inmates. The Irish Prime Minister says today, that they are
sorry! but issued no formal apology on behalf of the State (nothing unusual
there), and even though there has been calls for compensation no-one in the
Government has responded (they will run a mile away from this one, the cost! the
cost!). The girls were made to get up at 6 am and work through to 2pm, the food
was awful (in fact described as being horrific) Nobody was allowed to talk,
(reminds us of something at a Singapore Detention facility)....girls would be
punished for a variety of offences, none particularly nice....often demeaning
and cruel. One of the Religious Orders involved were the Sisters of Charity?
they said 'they apologised reservedly to the women hurt in their care'....all a
bit too late really, and they know it.....the horse has bolted and the stable
door is open! Many of those angry say the Church should stand up and admit the
damage they did to us and the scars that are with us for life.......but of
course, they won't......this scandal has been known for the past twenty years or
more.....a film was done on it around 2000.....titled 'The Magdalene Sisters '
set in the 1960's depicting one such laundry run by The Catholic Church and then
the subject was quietly tossed away...

........ just
like the Catholic Scandal of the Abuse by The Catholic Brothers (Australian
Child Abuse) in the sadistic Reformatory Schools in the 1930's when boys were
not only physically abused but sexually too.....and that provoked the launching
of at least two films, one an American Production, and an Irish film' Song for a
Raggy Boy' which was hard to watch as the cruelty unfolded..........in which
they invented a good guy to stop the film being as it really should -- without a
happy ending,... those beaten boys did not end up being winners or saved!...'
and Ireland never quite owned up to their complicity in a cover-up and measures
to suppress investigations that were leading to the Church hierarchy and
prominent Government Officials.

' State told to pay victim £30,000
for historic child abuse '

IRELAND's Government have been
ordered to pay compensation by a Court Judge who found in favour of a victim who
suffered terrible abuse from the teacher at a Roman Catholic School forty years
earlier. The European Court of Human Rights found that the State violated
her rights and ignored their duty of care. She was awarded £30,000 and the
costs of the case said to be £85,000. Louise O'Keeffe received
systematic abuse when she was a girl at Dunderrow National School, County Cork
in 1973. She said she was delighted that the State was at last, held
accountable. She now hopes that other children abused in the Catholic
Schools will now come forward to get proper justice, which they have been denied
by the State (the teacher named was Leo Hickey).

...... but all of
these incidents, long long ones, involving lonely and desperate children, have
all been failed by inadequate and useless words of 'sorry' forced out by
embarrassed Governments trying to make it all go away.... and avoid making any
compensation available to the victims.

NB: It is a scandal that State
involvement is not accepted or recognised because they merely claim it happened
a long time ago....and that victims of the state's callousness have to sue the
state and be put through a gruelling long expensive wait to have their day in
court. Countries that use the excuse it happened in the past should never
be allowed to get away with it.....they committed crimes knowingly or
unknowingly during their period in office and turning a blind eye or disposing
of the evidence only amplifies their responsibility to own up and be transparent
as they so claim these days.

' Explosive fraud
case starts against the Galleon Group '

THIS INSIDER
DEALING FRAUD CASE is against traders Galleon headed by Raj Rajaratnam who was
arrested by the FBI. It is stated that this will reveal the murky world of the
' hedge fund operatives ' who trade on information gained illegally through
insider dealing. It says there are 21 defendants appearing in court. The
mention of 'phone taps ' look straight out of a TV movie, except that these are
real. Galleon was into £2.34billion of trade before Rajaratnam was arrested.
He was said to be the 559th richest man in the world with a bankroll of
£822million. But since his arrest 30 others related to the Galleon Group have
pleaded guilty in civil and criminal cases. Federal investigators have spent two
years investigating the company.

' Turkey top of the Suppression
league '

TURKEY have topped the league in jailing
the highest number of journalist for two years running, followed closely by
CHINA and IRAN. All three account for half of the 211 journalists
imprisoned up to December the first. Most of these journalists have been
taken to court for taking pictures and writing about incidents that look bad for
these countries who have a bad record on human rights and suppression of
information. Soldiers in INDONESIA destroyed journalists cameras when they
attempted to get a news article.....and this kind of thing is on the increase
around the World as Governments make attempts to suppress wrongdoing going
public. Their attempts to 'gag' the Internet are becoming more frantic,
and dissidents are being secretly detained and jailed so as to keep the
situation under control. SINGAPORE have similar measures in place.

paedophile websites over a few weeks. Due to the Senior position of Mr. Coates,
senior officers were given special permission to access his personal files and

' SOUTHERN WATER
IS FINED £20 MILLION OVER DECEPTION '

It was discovered
in 2007 that Southern Water lied and deceived the public on a huge scale.
Misreporting and a billing system covered the fact that they were fleecing the
customer over a lengthy period. Ofwat said they deliberately concealed it's low
performance in dealing with customer complaints to hide what was really going on
in the management and board rooms. They misreported information from 1999 to
2004 so that they could gain £18.5 million out of the customer. Southern
water's shareholders took responsibility for the entire cost of the £20 million
fine. The Consumer Council said this was the right level of fine for these
deplorable actions of a company that should have been above reproach.

' BRITISH GAS
MISLEAD THE PUBLIC '

THE ADVERTISING
STANDARDS AUTHORITY ARE TO INVESTIGATE BRITISH GAS over misleading advertising
over a period of 18 months. It breached the guidelines eight times with adverts
that said ' Enjoy savings of 15 per cent ' and ' Guaranteed cheaper electricity
prices ' Ofgem promised to launch a legal investigation.

' BRITISH GAS
CONTINUE WITH DECEPTIVE ADVERTS ON TV'

British Gas were
heavily criticised for running adverts showing they take care, when in fact they
break into customers homes when they feel like it. Watchdog received many
complaints in this area from angry customers who had been victims of these
break-ins by British Gas. The actor Timothy Spall might make the ad seem
friendly but in reality it is a complete fraud. Ann Robinson tried to get a
response, but as usual the gas company retaliated by issuing meaningless
statements.

BRITISH GAS STILL
MAINTAIN SWINDLE RACKET despite complaints and lies about what service they can
provide -- and all in the face of massive profits recently published.

BRITISH GAS
WRONGLY BILL CUSTOMERS -- Yes, British Gas up to their old ways, -- Donald and
Starma Rennocks were billed for £1,500, and British Gas pushed hard saying they
owed it. However, it was one of those errors? an error on their database so they
claim. The couple from Leicestershire say that British Gas apologised for the
inconvenience. What they can't put right is their conduct and the stress they
caused these people.

BRITISH GAS FINED
£2.5MILLION over mistreatment of customers and small companies. The report
issued by the watchdog OFGEM said that British Gas failed to respond to customer
complaints and actively abandoned the codes of practice. There were ' basic
failures in Customer Services' that were not being addressed, and that the
company was not new to this sort of behaviour. OFGEM said it had to be a large
fine to show the company how serious this matter was.

BRITISH GAS - THE
BARE-FACED CHEATS, Lies and covert extortion revealed itself with British Gas as
they were discovered to have lied in order to persuade a customer to pay for a
new boiler at a rich price of just over £3,000. They even misled her and said
repairing her machine could not be done because the part needed was now
'obsolete' --- yet, when her local tradesman tried to get the part he found it
readily available on the Internet. He charged the lady £97 to repair her
boiler. Apparently, researchers found that British Gas engineers were pulling
the same scam elsewhere. Spokesman for the Industry, Chris Jansen did his
utmost to deflect the fact that they had behaved disgracefully and said he
supported the 'good character' of British Gas Engineers??

BRITISH GAS were
yet again featured by Watchdog in that they actually entered a man's flat and
took out the meter. It turned out they got the wrong flat and as the man said
'broke in' thinking they could use their special powers granted for entry. But
that doesn't apply if it's the wrong place, yet they eventually paid a
'goodwill' amount and made repair......they were not however, prosecuted under
criminal law.... which shows how the law can be used to the benefit of the
energy business and essential services.

'THE POWER GAME CONSPIRACY - GAS, WATER &
ELECTRICITY '

THE ENERGY COMPANIES who manipulate and
hold the country to ransom over essential services like water, electricity and
gas have been in a long conspiracy of corporate takeover in regard to the UK
establishment. Their aim is to control and create their own invincible
empire within the country so that it is so powerful that they can threaten the
very foundations of democratic government. It is only recently that the
British Public woke up to the fact that UK Politicians have little or no
influence over the Energy Giants in law or otherwise. The electricity
supply can go off when and if it likes without explanation and often does --
just as water and gas supplies which are often excused by stupid statements
thought up by Electricity, Gas and Water Company staff. Even now, these
companies flout the phone system at every move, inconveniencing householders
with nuisance calls at all times of the day having obtained data meant to be
private, but handed on easily in a single act of financial movement. One
would think there was no telecommunications Act..... to the Energy Companies it
doesn't apply or frighten them, like another corporate giant, BT, they know they
have a monopoly on the market. and corporate strength to fight off opponents.
They will win at any cost, and these people aim to stay that way, now, and in
the future......playing the game with loaded dice!

Energy Giants cause complaints to
double........N-POWER AND
SCOTTISH POWER are both receiving double the amount of public complaints in
first quarter of 2014 according to research by Citizens Advice. Both of
these power giants blamed new billing methods for the increase in complaints.
N-POWER's complaints grew from 306.8 per 100,000 customers to 592.4 per 100,000,
while SCOTTISH POWER's complaint grade rose from 100.5 to 197.7 between January
and March.

'BARCLAY CARD
FINED £50,000 FOR MENACING SILENT CALLS '

THE BANK GIANT
BARCLAYS was in the news again and this time, it was over their 'cold calling'
practice on the phones. The biggest Credit Card Company have been fined £50,000
for the misuse of the telephone system. The consumer watchdog Ofcom said it was
the most serious case of persistent misuse by making silent and abandoned calls
on the public phone network. Had they not been limited by the statutory limit
on a fine, they would have imposed a financial penalty that properly reflected
the offence Barclay's committed.

BARCLAYS BANK
PAYS COMPENSATION OVER BAD ADVICE TO CUSTOMER - £200,000 was paid out to Mr
Isaac Price after they had officially advised him to gamble his life savings in
one of their schemes. Once he agreed, his life savings fell at the rate of
£70,000 a year. The Investment fund was said to be safe said Mr.Price of
Llandrindod Wells, Powys. The Barclay's salesman said the 'high risk' fund was
completely safe.

BARCLAYS BANK TAX
AVOIDANCE SCHEMES finally failed on them as the HMRC demanded they pay £500,000
retrospectively. Analysts said that down at Canary Wharf the Barclays Lawyers
were in fact a team of tax avoidance experts using loopholes and interpretation
to save Barclays from paying out, but this has now brought about a change. It
also came as an embarrassment to the bank after it publicly claimed that it
would pay more tax in 2011 meeting in front of media cameras.

BARCLAYS
'CARD-FRAUD' NIGHTMARE TO CUSTOMERS --- It seems that care for the customer
rates very low in the Bank Industry, and Barclays hit number one on this. It is
stated they play mind games, keep people hanging on the telephone line knowing
that they are deliberately causing unnecessary expense to the customer and
client. A recent case has alighted the 'Chip'n'Pin' flaws that ultimately is
being used to penalise the customer. The Industry knows this system is not
security proof but remain in denial. Audrey Bruce, of London, a loyal customer
with this bank found herself being doubted and virtually called a liar when she
was robbed by an unknown and unidentified person who accessed her account on
several occasions. One 'weird' incident involved an over-the-counter withdrawal
of £6,000. They refused to reimburse Audrey who produced evidence of not being
in the bank on the day of question, they didn't even inform her of the large
withdrawal. She only realised things when another few thousand disappeared out
of her account. The bank reversed the phrase - innocent until proved guilty,
and declared her guilty until proved innocent! They did all they could to fob
her off and make things very difficult and unpleasant for her over the months
that followed. She finally asked for the CCTV footage they said confirmed it
was her? and let the police have it. When it came to push and shove, hey Presto!
the video CCTV had gone missing!

BARCLAYS BANK
announced it was taking on more staff in its CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS Department --
not really surprising in that it was voted the worst bank for customer
satisfaction.

' Barclays Bank
prey on the bereaved '

WHICH MAGAZINE
hit out at the greedy banks who look for easy targets, and Barclays Bank found
one in client elderly Miss Valerie Sage. Her estate was valued at around
£650,000 and Barclays were charging her £25,000 as executors. Relatives said
that saleswoman who called on their aunt was very evasive about charges and
dodged the issue several times. When the Berryman's complained about the
charges to their aunt's estate, they immediately halved the price? When they
approached a probate broker they were amazed to find out the whole thing could
be done for £4,450 including its own charge. WHICH found out that many other
High St Banks were charging double the normal rate.

' Barclays Bank
shares down as complaints go up '

259,266
COMPLAINTS WERE LODGED AGAINST BARCLAYS BANK, which accounts for around 2000
customers having issues and grievances against this one bank each day. A great
deal of these involve risky business advice in relation to investments and poor
service on the high street. Most of these reported figures were up to now --
kept secret and closely guarded within the banking system in order to create an
image that wasn't true or actually open. However, due to the difficult process
of The Freedom of Information Act, as from Sept the 1st 2010, they will be
required to reveal the number of complaints nationally throughout the banking
system -- it would be fair to say that the banks have resisted this for many
years.

' Barclays
ordered to compensate customers over mis-selling '

12,331 BARCLAYS
CUSTOMERS TO GET PAYOUT over 'serious failures ' in their organisation. The FSA
have ordered that Barclays pay compensation of around £70million to customers
who lost out over their handling of an investment scheme. It began when Barclays
sold two funds -- Aviva and Global to 12,331 investors who put £692million into
Barclays thinking it was secure. However, Barclays failed to ensure the funds
were suitable for customers or suitably train staff to explain the risks
involved.

BARCLAYS HAVE NOT
ENJOYED A GOOD REPUTATION FOR MANY YEARS!

Independent
advice says under the Data Protection Act one is entitled to see the evidence
and transaction logs kept, and one should be aware that False claims can be made
by the bank as well as anyone else.

Banks are often
contradictory and obstructive -- being very dismissive of customer claims. Even
most companies and organisations play this obstruction card from day one... and
this rubs off into public accountability and people too (the likewise
factor) LLOYDS BANK ARE NOTED FOR THIS AS WELL.

' Barclays Bank
and the Greed Factor -- the 2012 Scandal '

Waking up to the
banks corruption seems to be slow, despite our items indicating this, so in June
2012, another scandal erupts to show how deep this corruption goes ---

THE FSA HAVE
FINED BARCLAYS BANK £290 MILLION --- The case still ongoing relates to bank
operatives manipulating the interest rate for their own gain and bonuses.....It
was found that they told lies, almost of a criminal nature if it were not for
the lack of response by the government to judicially come down hard on
'white-collar' crime. The FSA have watered down the seriousness by uttering
excuses and saying it comes under civil offences? Yet there is a call from the
disgusted public for those involved to face criminal charges of fraud, instead
of this 'fines system' which flies in the face of the 'rioters' who were marched
off to jail for a lot less in many cases. These bankers lied for financial
gain. It is said that this bank is only the first to be fined in this scam...RBS,
LLOYDS, and HSBC are on the list as well as others. Somebody said ' what we have
here is just the tip of the iceberg' and we have said that all along....there is
and will be more to come on 'banks behaving badly'

BARCLAYS BANK
CLERK JAILED --- A cashier preyed on an elderly woman and stole £17,500 from
her account, Ann Marie Jones from Wrexham took a further £1,000 from 70 year old
Margaret Francis's account and kept her will. She was jailed for fraud and
received six months jail by Mold Crown Court. Barclays compensated the victims.

WORST BANK FOR
CUSTOMER SERVICE IS BARCLAYS -- According to recent reports by WHICH in 2012,
Barclays have been shamed over the Price Fixing Saga of 'The Libor Case' and
2,538 complaints received at the Which Contact Centre. The Libor Case has now
turned to having Barclays Executives Named.....it was stated that they had
dismissed five employees in an internal investigation shortly after the scandal
hit the headlines. There is currently a trial in the High Court, and around 104
employees could be called as witnesses. Executives, Bob Diamond, Jerry del
Missier, Chris Lucas and John Varley may also be called. Guardian Care Homes
have brought a case against Barclays and is seeking £37 million.

BARCLAYS IN
SPOTLIGHT OVER RIGGING ENERGY PRICES IN U.S.A. --- The US Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission has accused Barclays Bank of rigging energy prices in
America.

It seems
incredible and absolutely shameful that The Bank of England's boss Mervyn King
has had the gall and affront to declare Barclays and other banks as 'shoddy and
deceitful' when it has emerged that the Bank of England was involved in the
cover-up and knew about the rate-fixing when it began. King of course, does not
want an inquiry, a far reaching inquiry....and one can see why. The mis-selling
scandal involving many banks who also manipulated the rates that banks lend to
each other, known as libor --- silently remained behind closed doors as Bob
Diamond the boss of Barclays implicated a 'small number of people' of whom were
in the government and the Bank of England who urged the rate-fixing in the first
place...'oh what a web we weave ' Some are saying it was fraud, criminal fraud,
but the government are trying to distance themselves from the truth of this
statement by declaring black is white and that it wasn't actually criminal? but
only they believe that!

THE LIBOR SCANDAL
AND BARCLAYS --- Now Barclays are to be investigated over £12 billion Gulf Deals
-- It seems as if Banks are riddled with corruption, it goes on an on from one
scandal to another. They are now being quizzed over Middle East Royal families
bunging the bank £12 billion to fend off Nationalisation. The FSA are still
investigating four of its senior employees -- one being finance chief Chris
Lucas. There was also the £450 million bill it had to settle for the loan scam
in which it was involved in 'mis-selling'

BARCLAYS BANK
TELL ACCIDENT VICTIM 'SUE US' When 85 year old Bert Lock fractured his hand
after it was trapped in a 'faulty' sliding door at the bank. Bert was visiting
the bank in Bletchley, Buckinghamshire, to collect bank envelopes. All went
well in the bank until he left and as he got in the doors, he was thrown to the
ground when they kept closing.......normally a sensor holds the door and returns
it to open when someone approaches it. After the event a woman called from the
bank, no apologies tendered, and told Bert's daughter, Mrs Walker that 'if you
want any financial help or assistance then you will have to sue us'

BARCLAY'S TOP
BOSS GETS £40 MILLION IN SHARES -- Fury erupted over Rick Ricci and eight other
Barclays Bosses picked up £40 million in shares in a bumper payout, said to be
'performance related'

BARCLAYS IS FINED $453 MILLION FOR
RIGGING --- Barclays have been told they must pay the fine by the US Energy
Regulators after they upheld the decision and amount of the fine imposed because
they believed that Barclays had rigged Californian electricity markets between
2006 and 2008.

'Barclays receive fine for failures
'

NO STRANGER TO COMPLAINTS - BARCLAYS
is fined £2.3 million because of its failure to keep proper electronic records
such as e-mails and instant messaging. Over a period of 10 years - 2002 to
2012 these failures went unchecked and systematically ignored. The FSA
Regulators made it known to the bank who still continued to not save electronic
data over orders and trading......interestingly Barclays don't think they did
any wrong-doing having that attitude -- 'Come and prove it if you can -- we've
got expensive lawyers waiting'......so it has fallen to the U S Regulators to
fine Barclays!

' Barclays are sued for 'dark-pool
trading'

SYSTEMATIC FRAUD AT BARCLAYS -- The
Bank has been charged with systematic fraud and deceit against its
customers....which includes investment institutions. It is accused of
duping investors who traded shares in the bank's 'dark-pool' -- a secretive
market where people buy and sell stocks without disclosing information about the
transactions according to an American Lawsuit. If found guilty the Bank
could face fines of multi-million sums besides compensation and other lawsuits.
The bank has already had scandals costing them, especially the PPI mis-selling
saga. Lawyers say this dark-pool and rigging system which is full of
predators could well cost the bank very seriously.

NB: Will Banks be
reigned in? doubtful really, as they are often in bed with the government
itself.........A report says Banks charge something in the region of £9billion a
year on current accounts (2012)....this comes from the Office of Fair-trading,
who say little or no interest is being passed onto the customer......just more
charges!

' Abbey National
fined over call centre failures '

OFCOM said they
had also fined ABBEY NATIONAL over misuse of the telephone system, saying silent
calls are a significant cause of inconvenience and anxiety for thousands of
people every month.

The Banks
resorted to quietly and secretly putting up interest rates on overdrafts that
had already been agreed upon by the customers beforehand. Small print added by
the banks later led to ordinary borrowers finding they had charges of up to 20
per cent more on their accounts.

The BANKS listed
are ; LLOYDS TSB, ABBEY, HSBC, BARCLAYS, HALIFAX, FIRST DIRECT, NAT WEST and The
ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND, SMILE, THE CLYDESDALE and YORKSHIRE BANK etc.

The banks were
accused of 'using sharp practices to get back the millions they were forced to
refund customers over excessive charges.

' LLOYDS BANK
accuse pair of innocents of Defrauding the bank '

NO APOLOGIES FROM
LLOYDS or the police after wrongly identifying two women as suspects in a fraud
sting. The bank handed the wrong photo still from CCTV cameras of Nicola
Channing and Julie Evans, the real fraudsters were at an adjacent till. The
innocent women's photos appeared on Crimestoppers a BBC programme when the trail
went cold. All the bank could offer was sorry, nothing more, yet the damage to
their reputations had been done.

LLOYDS BANK have
also been involved in other dubious activities concerning investment mishandling
and poor customer relations.

LLOYDS BANK LIKE
TO SAY NO TO E-MAIL CONTACT - 'Contact Us' cannot be found on any page of the
LLoyds web site, and their explanation? -- it is a security matter. This would
look good if it were not for the many articles we have showing Lloyds in a very
different light. Lloyds have a problem with open-ness and honesty, something it
lacks when dealing with a number of its customers.

LLOYDS SUFFER AS
A RESULT OF ITS PPI SCHEMES SCANDAL --- Lloyds Bank declared themselves to be in
the red by £3.5billion due to paying out compensation to customers it mis-sold
(didn't tell the truth- sold insurance to those who didn't need it -- misled
customers) payment protection schemes. 42 per cent of the Lloyds Banking Group
is owned by the taxpayer after it was bailed out and given public funds.

LLOYDS IS MOST
COMPLAINED ABOUT --Banking group Lloyds have become the worst bank at No1 in
2011- with 20,310 complaints in just one half of the year....Barclays had the
distinction of being runner-up in 2nd place.

' Highest number
of complaints against Lloyds Bank '

LLOYDS BANK are
the worst bank with customer complaints. The Financial Ombudsman received 9,952
individual complaints in the first six months of 2009. These complaints were
about the service, misleading financial advice and trickery by staff who were
not properly trained. BARCLAYS came in as the runner-up having achieved the
second spot withy 5,476 complaints about the poor service. It was said that
most of these banks lived in ' a denial culture ' and were not prepared to face
the truth or learn from the bad press.

LLOYDS AND
MIS-SELLING PPI CLAIMS --- The Bank has announced that it is putting another £1
billion to remedy the growing bill in regard to claims against them by customers
who were mis-sold Insurance cover. Its Bill now is around £5.3 billion, and
still could rise further.

' Commission
Rip-Off by LLoyds Bank '

After selling off
its private client business to a group of advisors Lloyds wrote to clients
offering to dispose of existing holdings and convert them into funds managed by
Scottish Widows. It failed to say that Scottish Widows is owned by Lloyds and
is a subsidiary. Investing client funds would mean Lloyds making huge sums
without their clients realizing it. Clients would be urged to think it was an
outside deal they'd invested in.

LLOYDS BANKING
CHIEF ERIC DANIELS WALKS AWAY WITH A £6.8MILLION PAY PACKAGE, mostly thanks to
the taxpayer. Daniels was involved in the disastrous Halifax Bank of Scotland
fiasco. LLOYDS is largely owned by the public---41 per cent. The Scotland bank
had bad debts of £20 billion.

' Risk Manager at
Lloyds steals £80,000 from account '

Bank Manager
Darren Pease of Romford stole £80,000 out of accounts belonging to his niece and
grandmother. one was a trust fund and the other a private investment account.
He was jailed for four years by Basildon Crown Court.

' Lloyds TSB let
down 91 year old customer in crass refusal '

One elderly
customer was burgled while she was in hospital, she had an insurance policy with
Lloyds, and they refused to pay out because she did not say she was in hospital,
so they rejected her claim. The poor lady had a broken leg, why has she to
inform Lloyds, she wasn't burgled until she was hospitalized. Thieves smashed
open her house door and stole money and valuables. TSB even lied to cover
themselves, they claimed data protection made it difficult. They have now paid
the claim after being shown up, waived the policy excess of £50 and sent £100 of
vouchers and flowers as a belated apology.

I would say it's
hard to believe that a bank can be so low, but LLOYDS TSB can.

' Lloyds Boss in
£2.5million Fraud Case '

LLOYDS EXECUTIVE
JESSICA HARPER is charged with fraud, she was accused of stealing £2,463,750
from the bank by submitting false paperwork and invoices to claim payments. The
£70,000 a year bank security boss in the digital accounting system committed the
fraud over a period and was only found out when the bank carried out an internal
investigation was launched in 2011. She had worked with Lloyds since 2000 and
was highly respected and thought of by the Bank.

' Lloyds Credit
Card Company in bogus 24 hour service '

LLOYDS BRIGHTON
RUN CREDIT CARD FACILITY run a customer service that boasts of running 24
hours, and the first thing one notices is that the automotive voice cannot get
your credit card number right, and actually repeats it back wrong? Many people
who contacted us say that this is a regular feature designed to throw callers
off. It then steers the caller on to waiting for a operator in a queue? and
having tried this it appears the same queue is there at 2 am and 4 am any
evening, which points to a con and a lie. Who has ever heard of hundreds of UK
customers hanging around until 5 am just get into the queue; Lloyds want us to
believe that in the face of the British Tradition of most folk being in bed
after 11pm.

' Lloyds Bank con
customer into paying twice '

INFORMATION sent
to us has revealed how a branch in Cosham, Hampshire cheated a loyal customer
into paying twice for an account that had been closed some weeks earlier. This
bank billed the client for a new month despite one of its staff having closed it
for the client and charging the client to the full saying there was no more to
pay. Yet the client found another charge being levied on the account and was
asked to pay it. A complaint was made but the bank said the original clerk was
not in so it would have to be paid. Strangely, if this had been on the other
foot the client might have faced a court action fully supported by the law, and
showing that the law can have double-standards --- and this is not for the first
time either.

' Poor customer
service at Lloyds Bank '

We've heard of
another two cases of incredible awful customer service with this bank. The first
concerns the ordering of a cheque book by one customer in early December 2010,
and even now in February 2011 it has not materialized. Excuses have taken the
shape of --- gone missing, and it was your fault, the address was wrong, and of
course the ' we'll order you another one ' speech. Another customer got so fed
up with waiting for his new cheque book that he actually closed his account with
Lloyds and told them what he thought about their service.

' Lloyds Bank
Payout £3.2billion for treatment to customers '

THE HIGH ST
BANKING GIANT LLOYDS BANK are having to payout a staggering £3.2billion for
running roughshod over customers when mis-selling insurance cover. This came
about when the bank dropped their court action to contest claims. Allegations
were made accusing the banks of looking after themselves.

' Boy on wanted
poster to sue Lloyds '

Chistopher
Lapworth of Warwickshire found to his disbelief that he was on a police poster
and a reward of £500 had been offered for his apprehension. It was said by
police who are also being sued, that Lloyds Bank made the error and picked him
out as being a robber on their ATM camera system.

' Banks deprive
their customers of a tax bonus '

A report has
revealed that many banks are pocketing tax benefits meant for savers. One of
the worst offenders is LLOYDS TSB BANK. The most common investment is the ISA
and banks are conveniently playing around with the rates so that they get the
bonus rather than the customer.

' Lloyds fined £28 million for poor
practices '

Yet again LLOYDS find
themselves caught and duly fined by the Regulator -- time and time again Lloyds
pay another fine for giving the customer the 'brush off' and operating 'a toxic
sales culture' which of course led to mis-selling by staff. It is stated
that this all operates around policies that not only encourage, but force staff
to deceiver the customer and get as much as they can out of them. Bonuses
and demotion are quoted in the statement...... yet Lloyds will go on.......just
like the previous cases.........fines can be paid and Lloyds know that.

' Lloyds snub loyal 40 year customer
'

'PROVE THAT YOU ARE REAL
CUSTOMERS'......that's what Lloyds did to customers in this entry. R.C. of
Epsom said they like to use a Club Lloyds account which pays interest on
balances of up to £5,000. The customer easily qualified for this on the
amount they pay in each month.....and they liked it to be by direct debit so
that they could manage it themselves. but they were asked to provide proof
of two direct debits going out each month to qualify....yet these customers have
banked at the same branch for 40 years.

'Lloyds in trouble again over Libor
Scandal '

LLOYDS BANK are yet again facing a
hefty fine (2014) in connection with 'The Libor Price Fixing Scandal'... The
Banking group have announced that they will be investigating around 15 staff
members in an attempt to seize bonuses paid during the 'manipulation' of Libor
Interest Rates. The bank said settlements are to be agreed in several
claims as it waits to find out how much it is to be fined in the USA.
Speculators are expecting the fine to be around £200 million plus. It also
revealed that Lloyds had suspended half of the fifteen to be investigated.

' HSBC Bank in
Madoff Fraud Scandal is sued '

THE HSBC BANK IS
BEING SUED FOR £5.7Billion over their involvement in the Madoff Fraud. Irving
Picard the court appointed trustee said that HSBC had facilitated Madoff's
£40billion swindle. He accused the bank of being ' deliberately blind' to what
was going on. Picard has also sued Wall St and the bank JP Morgan Chase.

' HSBC is fined
record amount of £10.5million for mis-selling '

THE FSA ANNOUNCED
IN DECEMBER 2011 that HSBC have been fined £10.5million after selling policies
and deals to mostly those who were 85yrs and over -- who would benefit very
little from it and in many cases find themselves penalized monetary-wise. It
agreed that this should not have happened and has now said it will pay out
compensation of £29million. Some figures say this is around £12,000 to 2000
people, but it is probably higher. Even Help the Aged, the charity once backed
these deals without realising how awful they were to the very people who they
profess to help. Many pensioners who were advised and duped into these deals are
now unfortunately deceased and what happened clearly did them no good, nor are
they around to be compensated.

HSBC IN OVERDRAFT
CHARGES RIP-OFF -- Howard Rutherford suffered badly at the hands of this
uncaring bank who showed no concern or care for a client, they put charge on
charge and failed to notify him or keep him informed of how changes would affect
him. Things got so bad that he had a possession order against him and almost
lost his house over a small amount that was allowed to spiral to unimaginable
proportions.
At one time, the bank were taking half of his monthly income in charges and
interests. This happened to coincide with the anger at the banks called 'the
bank rip-offs' when thousands stood up to banks and demanded repayment of
unreasonable overdraft charges.

£4.7 BILLION WAS
MADE BY BANKS IN BANK CHARGES LEVIED ON OVERDRAFTS.

' HSBC knew all
about the money laundering but did nothing'

At an inquiry
into the serious underhand activities of banking, it was revealed that the HSBC
boss Stephen Green knew about money-laundering in the banks for seven years --as
far back as 2005, but said nothing about it. Even the bank's compliance chief
David Bagley quit and said that staff at the bank's Mexican Subsidiary forged
paperwork designed to help prevent money-laundering? It also came out that
Senior persons within the compliance unit fabricated records in order to prevent
detection of the wrongdoing.

HSBC FINED £1.2
BILLION BY USA REGULATORS OVER MONEY-LAUNDERING AND CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES -- The
highest ever fine has been imposed on giant banking group HSBC. Sources say
that inside the bank it was known that money was not being checked as it made
its way from drug cartels and countries that were viewed as corrupt. The bank
checking system did not seem to apply, where ordinary everyday customers
suffered humiliating checks on accounts.......the company believe that this sum
will cover other issues outstanding and under investigation bringing the episode
to a close? Criminal charges being urged have not been adequately addressed,
said a spokesman, this side of it seems very obscure and we are getting words
like 'we shall have to see' being used, most likely so that a 'watered down
effort' can be used to sideline this 'touchy' issue.

In addition, it
was revealed that from 2002 to 2010 during the time HSBC were in the habit of
laundering cash for drug barons and dictatorship regimes, Mr Green now a
Government Minister, was their Chief Executive, and he walked away with a
pension of £19 million. In relation to the exposed criminal activity of HSBC,
he said the situation was 'regrettable'

HSBC ACCUSED IN
FRAUDULENT TRANSACTIONS -- Argentina's Tax Agency say they uncovered £51 million
in fraudulent transactions by the HSBC Bank -- they have asked the Judicial
System to order an investigation.

HSBC IN LAWSUIT -- The Company
are to fight a £1.5 billion class action lawsuit in the USA over the selling of
sub-prime mortgages......the suit was filed in 2002.....and concerns charges of
fraudulently misleading investors.

' The HSBC AFFAIR and Scandal '

THE GOVERNMENT, A BANK, AND A FRAUD
-- All elements of a neat little grab and snatch that involves tax evasion on a
huge scale, with a government pretending not to know. But one of those
HSBC men present at that company when the deals were done and evasion,
avoidance, whatever, was David Cameron's appointed Minister Lord Stephen Green
(who wouldn't say anything on a Panorama programme)...who was made a peer by
Cameron's government....this man refused to talk about the tax situation and
Swiss Branch Bank of HSBC. He spent three years as a minister when
thousands of clients were exposed by a whistleblower who grabbed many thousands
of data on people and firms involved in a tax scam. The scam was exposed
for five years in France first before the dossier was sent to the HMRC in 2015.
Lord Green was Head of the HSBC during some of this period,,,but denies all.
THE HSBC Offices were raided in Geneva as this became a criminal inquiry as
Swiss Prosecutors launched the investigation into HSBC. Swiss
Whistleblower Herve Falcianni grabbed documents to expose the fraud and gave
them to the French Government. Cameron was questioned about links to the
scam but has remained quiet and scathing when others have pushed him on the
subject, especially the hiring of Lord Green. the inquiry is going slow!
and looks set for being after the election, who'd guess that? and their are
rumours that HSBC may have a few more skeletons in the closet?

THE GOVERNMENT
BANK NS&I ARE CHEATING THE PENSIONER - around 8,000 pensioners have lost out in
the National Savings Scheme it has been revealed. The bank have used the excuse
' technical problems' to cover their mismanagement of pensioners savings.

' Banks have been
profiteering again at the customers expense '

A REPORT LEAKED
has shown that withdrawals from a branch-based ATM to be 28p and 40p for a
machine. A financial watchdog has written to the Trade and Industry Secretary
Stephen Byers over this matter. The Banks argued that reports by Don
Cruickshank were not correct, but the Director General of Fair Trading, John
Bridgeman has launched an investigation on behalf of the customers.

' Banks target
the vulnerable in bid for profits '

CUSTOMERS ARE
BEING PUSHED INTO FEE-CHARGED ACCOUNTS - and those customers that appear to be
naive to greedy staff are the main victims of this action. They are steered to
take premium accounts which are costing the customer £150 a year. NATIONAL
WESTMINSTER BANK was one such case who sold an account with perks to an elderly
lady who could not possibly gain by such a deal. LLOYDS BANK argued about their
methods of business and have applied for their case to go before a senior
ombudsman. They also refused to pay £100 compensation to a cheated saver. This
case went before a senior ombudsman who found for the saver and Lloyds had to
pay compensation of £350.

' Banks accused
of double-standards and deceit '

A LEADING CREDIT
CARD FRAUD EXPERT SAYS BANKS ARE DECEIVING CUSTOMERS and have been for a very
long time. He said the pin situation was not as banks said it was 'foolproof '
and they continue to be blinkered and not own up to cases where fraud has
happened in regard to the chip and pin process. One case in particular
highlighted this - A woman who was a civilian worker with the police found that
her EGG credit card account had been plundered by someone else; she had stopped
the account months before and cut up the card. She reported this and soon she
entered a nightmare not of her own doing. EGG accused her of fraud, and to her
amazement ten cops swooped on her home, searched it and arrested her -- the same
cops she worked with? One woman cop whom she knew stood and watched her dress in
the bedroom which was highly embarrassing. She was suspended from her job and
suffered being under suspicion and stress for many months. However, luckily, she
got help and the expert uncovered how it had been done. EGG suddenly made a
turnabout, and she was acquitted at the court hearing. She got no apology from
EGG who thought a mere £700 would take care of the mistake, and the police as
usual made no attempt to be sorry, but said she was re-instated. The expert said
on camera that had the case been in the U.S. they would have been paying up to
$1million dollars in compensation, and quite rightly so. The police should have
been sued, collectively or individually and it should have been a claim for
around £200,000.

' Banks attempt
to muzzle watchdog team '

In 2000, well
before the Bank scandal of 2008 made serious attempts to silence a watchdog
committee according to Don Cruickshank who headed the inquiry. He accused the
banks of ripping off the public to the tune of £5billion a year. But the
British Bankers Association Tim Sweeney dismissed the report and had strong
objections as they reflected restrictions of flexibility in the financial
sector. Mr. Sweeney denied that banks do not care about customer complaints.
His objections to the Watchdog horrified consumer groups who wanted the
Government to implement the Cruickshank recommendations as soon as possible. As
a result, the ' policing Authority' recommended to prevent bank 'rip-offs' was
put on hold.

In March of 2007
a report from a whistleblower revealed bank swindles and overcharging by Lloyds
and other banks in an article ' Banks and Corruption '

And in 2008, we
saw the results -- bust banks, big bonuses and a recession brought about by bank
greed.

'Banks have been discovered sending
fraudulent letters '

WONGA DID IT, AND NOW BANKS have
been sending 'fake legal demand' letters to customers. BARCLAYS, LLOYDS,
HALIFAX, RBS and HSBC have been trying to frighten people by sending customers
letters that appear to be from outside legal firms, when they are not. The
report says that Energy Firms have been doing the same and MP's have said these
are 'dishonest and distressing tactics' Peter Killan who received a
'threatening letter' said it looked like a legal thing based on a debt
collection notice, and found it very frightening.

' Abbey -
Santander, the Banking Society that likes to say No '

ABBEY MAY FIND
ITSELF BEING SUED over it's jobs worth response to a depositor who needed his
cash for a house purchase which they refused to do. They claimed the necessary
security precautions over ID and crime meant they could not process the bank
draft even though it was the customer's money. The need for exceptional ID
meant the man could not provide the extremes needed to satisfy staff. Well
folks, the staff at Abbey are not entirely honest just as some of the senior
management at this bank. We have info going over some years that shows fraud
within their own ranks, yet no one was brought to book. They have intimidated
investigations in past years and as far as being transparent, the fog appears
very thick. If you want to lock yourself out from your money then bank with
them, but if you heed this case, then steer clear of investing in Abbey and take
your money elsewhere.

ABBEY WAS ALSO
FINED OVER MISUSE OF THE TELEPHONE SYSTEM --- see report already published.

SANTANDER - ABBEY
ACT DESPICABLY TOWARDS CUSTOMERS -- D.M. of Canturbury had the debt collectors
swoop on her by order of Santander, and why? -- she had a fraudulent cheque
placed in her account for £9,000, and she respectfully informed them she wasn't
expecting it or really knew anything about it and they ought to know. They
never replied but instead - FROZE HER ACCOUNT -- and later had the cheek to
inform her that the account was overdrawn by £1,800 -- and sent in the debt
collectors? She has asked for explanations on several occasions but Santander
ignore her despite the fact that she is a customer. The account was frozen for
five months, Santander have decided to play the ' confused we don't know' card
and arranged for the debt to be called back and end the matter. But it still
doesn't excuse their shoddy unprofessional service.

SANTANDER DENY
SISTERS ACCESS TO BANK ACCOUNTS -- Two sisters Victoria and Virginia Spill
suddenly found they could not access their accounts because Santander kept
getting the accounts mixed up. A catalogue of errors by the banking firm led to
Victoria being shut out of her ISA because it had been transferred to her
sister's account. Statements were wrong and often sent to the wrong person, and
staff seemed to be unable to understand or be willing to use commonsense. Amid
a tide of complaints against them, a Santander spokesperson said the problem had
been investigated and as a gesture of goodwill they sent £50.

Santander lost
Isa for 60 days -- Marjorie Adderly applied to transfer her £28,000 Isa to M&S
Money, but they never received it from Santander. She phoned them repeatedly
and was fobbed off by staff, and this lasted 60 days. Santander because of
pressure gave Marjorie £50 for the inconvenience they had caused.

Heather Ward's savings just vanished at Santander, after transferring cash from
her Isa. When she looked at her account later she found no mention of the
account -- it had disappeared. SAhe wrote and phoned Santander to no avail,
deaf ears prevailed

Mark and Penny
Norman are deeply annoyed with the service they get at Santander. Their problems
started when they tried to transfer their Isa to Yorkshire BS. Penny from
Ipswich said she has moved all her savings from Santander because of the awful
service, She was promised action and call backs, but no one did and the problem
just went round in circles. When it was eventually sorted out, all Santander
could say was ' sorry '

Roger Pipe of
Essex tried to transfer £5,100 from an account to his Santander cash Isa, but
the money disappeared for six weeks even though it had been taken from his other
account.

Norman Payne
transferred his money from Giro Bank to SANTANDER in the hope he had chosen the
right bank, but alas, what a mistake to make! he suddenly had two account
numbers and sort codes for one account? and demands for all sorts after
Santander failed to pay most of his direct debits.

John Gorrod
mailed Santander £5,100 to open an ISA account, but they lost his application.
He then had to do all the running about because of their mess. It took ages and
he lost out in the end.

Sue Anderson had
a joint account with her sister in Santander. All they asked, and wished they
hadn't six months later, for an address change on the account. It went onto
involve letters and phone calls, being put on hold and generally being messed
about by staff who couldn't care less.

Steve Boyle had
an account with Santander, he switched his Alliance and Leicester account to
Santander and when he applied for a credit card -- it was rejected because
Santander had the incorrect details on file.

One couple,
Reuben and Val Goldthorpe found £5,100 in their Santander account which was not
theirs. It took them more than two months to remove the money after many phone
calls. They even had trouble with the taxman over it and it took over three
months for the bungling bank to write a letter of explanation which they had to
send to the local tax office. They later switched their account to another bank.

Ricky Kasabi
closed his account with Santander after they showed not the slightest
commonsense over a credit card security question. Instead they froze his
account when his he quoted eight, which he took from his house number in North
London. Things got so bad that he had to visit his local branch with his
passport and found out a computer glitch at put an '0' in front of the 8, and he
had no idea about that. As soon as it was cleared up he closed the account right
there and then.

Helen Taylor of Huddersfield became
another victim of Santander.....she reported a fraud to them, and that one
single fraud transaction made a mess of her account....and the matter was not
resolved for two years. Her credit rating was affected, she opened a new
account, but still the problem existed. No matter what she did the
thing grew to epic proportions....until they finally owned up to having caused
the 'mistake' themselves, and they sent her a payment of £495 compensation!

SANTANDER STILL
TOP THE LIST FOR THE WORST BANKS -- It has a record number of complaints mainly
to do with customer service, poor and quite often -- disastrous advice according
to a new report. A quarter of a million people were caught in dispute with the
company over overdraft charges. In just six months there were 1.4million
complaints. LLOYDS and THE ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND receive 3,600 complaints a day
between them, which is lower than 11,000 a day that SANTANDER get. The report
slammed the top six banks saying they hardly ever apologised for their errors
and most of the time ignored customer complaints. BARCLAYS received 259,717
complaints about their poor customer service. The Financial Ombudsman Service is
being overwhelmed by the size of their mailbag requiring them to investigate
complaints.

SANTANDER
CUSTOMER ACCOUNT SECURITY FAILURE -- A report has revealed that this banking
giant has sent 35,000 bank statements to the wrong addresses. The statements
contained not only account details but personal account numbers and details.
Santander are stated to be playing down the claim of it giving data useful to
any criminal element. The banking giant could now face hefty fines from the
banks watchdog the FSA..

FSA FINE INSURER
ZURICH AFTER IT LOST PERSONAL DATA OF CUSTOMERS - THEY WERE FINED £2.28 MILLION.

SANTANDER fail
yet another customer with poor service --- Dartford customer Ms R.B. attempted
to withdraw £250 from the Santander cash machine in Bluewater, Kent. The machine
paid no money out. A Santander advisor told them to wait by the machine and sent
out another employee to look into things outside with the customer. They
retrieved the bank card telling the customer the machine was at fault and that
no money had been withdrawn from the account. The customer later tried another
machine and the money was refused saying that a sum of £250 had already been
paid saying they had exceeded the daily limit.

SANTANDER REFUSE
HELP OVER MYSTERIOUS TRANSACTION -- a transaction that was not made by their
customer. Paul Saunders and his wife in Caerphilly, South Wales have been
trying for two years to get back £540 from Santander after the sum was withdrawn
from his account in three separate transactions by someone else....but Santander
says it will not compensate them for the missing money!

SANTANDER
INVESTIGATION DROPPED BY JUDGE WHO FACES COURT ACTION -- Judge Baltasar Garzon.
one of Spain's top judges is currently facing charges of overstepping his
authority and misconduct in that he ruled that an investigation into Santander's
boss should be dropped. He is also said to have illegally authorised police to
record conversations between lawyers and clients. If he is convicted he could be
suspended from the legal profession for 20 years.

SANTANDER MAKE
£25,000 DISAPPEAR FROM OLD CLIENT ACCOUNT -- Customer Linda, who banked with the
Halifax in the 1990's left the sum of £25,000 in her account for a 'rainy
day'....so in a deposit account this money stayed for over ten years. Linda and
her husband had an idea for the house and decided the money would now be
needed. She decided to withdraw the money and took her paying in book to get it
from Santander who took over the Halifax. It wasn't there! the money had
vanished.....they pathetically claimed she'd probably taken it, but the book has
to be used, and there id no stamped withdrawal......she took the case to the
banking Ombudsman who amazingly came down on the side of the bank!.......so
effectively, they have stolen her money!

ANOTHER CASE OF VANISHING MONEY --
SANTANDER made £8,000 disappear from Valentine Brown's Savings Account, and
wouldn't pay him back. They actually had the cheek to say that he was
either mistaken or couldn't remember withdrawing the money. But he didn't
do either, and the bank actually closed the account without notifying him.
Sadly for Mr Brown, even the Financial Ombudsman backed Santander despite making
the comments that the evidence provided by Santander was incomplete using words
like 'indicates' which is mere conjecture. There was no record of a
withdrawal in his bank book....but Santander said old accounts where the money
was not being put in at intervals often showed no action, and besides that they
destroyed paperwork after six years. Two more cases, John, had £1356 in
his account and Santander refused to pay up saying it was closed and he must
have taken it. Avril had £1700 plus, and again she lost it with the
Ombudsman backing the bank on the 'probability' that she had taken it.
Santander achieved the status of being in the lowest in thirty worst banks voted
by the customer.

Although this next item wasn't
Santander but another bank -- read on -- One local bank made a pensioner's
account containing £97,000 disappear...... saying that the elderly lady had
withdrawn the cash and closed the account. They continued to fob off and
obstruct the claim.....virtually calling the customer a liar. Eventually
the lady got help and representation arrived at the bank. They still
refused to accept that they were liable for the money and refused to pay it
back. The Representation threatened to bring in the police....and hey
presto, after a while they 'miraculously' recovered the old account, saying
there had been an IT error?

' Credit Card
Customers are being charged by sneak fees and charges '

SANTANDER charge
customers a £10 fee for non use of their cards the report says, and only mention
this in the very small print that many people cannot read or even notice. The
report revealed that these firms offering the cards were continually trying to
profit in a sneaky way, other firms mentioned are - DEBENHAMS - HOUSE OF FRASER
- TOPSHOP - LAURA ASHLEY - DOROTHY PERKINS - and the Amex platinum cashback
card.

SANTANDER CHIEF
EXECUTIVE RESIGNS --- A Legal Dispute has forced Santander's Chief Executive
Alfredo Saenz to quit his position as the Head of the Eurozone's largest
Bank....following a lengthy and damaging legal dispute since he was convicted of
making false accusations against debtors while he was in charge of the Banesto
Bank in 2003 before it was taken over by Santander. It was reported that he
received a suspended prison sentence in 2009 (but was later pardoned by the
former Spanish Prime Minister). The pardon has now been overturned by Spain's
Supreme Court who are to reinstate the conviction, which has now compromised his
current position.

SANTANDER IN 'ADVICE' FINED £12
MILLION --- Santander were fined £12 million, its UK Bank was fined by the City
Regulator, The Financial Conduct Authority. This was over its Retail
Investment Advice, the Regulator said there were 'serious failings in the way it
offered financial advice' with customers....and has ordered them to contact all
affected customers, and where necessary, pay them compensation.

BANKS SAY NOTHING
ABOUT HOW EASY THEY MAKE YOUR MONEY VULNERABLE TO THEFT ON THE INTERNET -- A
report says millions of customers are at risk because of three major banks. The
report highlights the fact that accounts are plundered by online fraudsters who
have no problems in lifting cash from many bank accounts deemed to be safe by
the banks. The banks named are the HALIFAX, LLOYDS and RBS

' Customers to
pay for bank errors at the Clydesdale '

CLYDESDALE BANK
ALONG WITH THE YORKSHIRE BANK were reported to have made errors and mistakes for
years in regard to client mortgage payments -- now they want these customers to
pay for the bank's errors, because mistakes happened that were not picked up
when the mortgage arrangements were entered into with the customer -- report
July 2010.

' National
Westminster Bank told staff to deceive clients '

In 2001 a memo
revealed that Nat West Bank management told staff throughout their many branches
to con clients into keeping their savings in low interest accounts. Staff were
told they could earn bigger and better bonuses by urging customers to purchase
poorer products rather than get a good return on their investments. The
internal memo said the best accounts E-Savings and Savings Direct should not be
offered, except as a defensive measure to appease a customer if it looked like
they would cancel their account. The Rip-Off as described by Mike McAteer of
the Consumers Association is unacceptable and shoddy behaviour --- this came at
a time when the four major banks made £20 billion in profits amid falling
returns for savers.

NATIONAL
WESTMINSTER BANK MISLEAD THE PUBLIC -- A watchdog report banned a television
advert that told customers they were open on Saturdays. The lie was uncovered
when it was revealed that only 43 per cent of the branches were open out of 1500
leaving 877 still closed. The Advertising Standards Authority said it was
totally misleading to the 7.5 million customers, and was a disgrace.

NATIONAL
WESTMINSTER BANK BLAME COMPUTER FOR OWN FAILURES -- June 2012, A crisis at Nat
West Banking led to millions of customers being unable to access their accounts
because the computer system locked them out. This screwed up customers bank
accounts despite previous adverts on TV extolling the virtues of safe, secure
and reliable banking were promised and assured to all Nat West Customers. It is
said the 'glitch' also affected RBS of Scotland, but this did nothing for the
angry customers whose standing orders and bills were not being paid on time.
'Weak apologies were being given by the bank' and information being given out
was 'vague' and unconvincing. They said things like ' the issues have been
addressed but we are still working on it?' which indicates this statement was
issued to allow time. As to the thoughts of compensation? they are not offering
a penny towards people's inconvenience of being compromised with late payment
fines which in many cases is triggered immediately one defaults by reason of
date. Apologies are worth NOTHING!

NATWEST IT
PROBLEM --- caused a man to be held in prison over a weekend because his bail
payment could not be honoured -- This man has just cause to sue Nat West and the
judiciary for 'unwarranted detention' or 'unlawful imprisonment (due to the fact
they were aware of the Nat West Bank problems).

NAT WEST BANK
BULLIES DEBTORS -- The National Westminster Bank which was bailed out by the
taxpayers was found guilty of using nasty tactics by the Office of Fair
Trading. They ordered RBS-Nat West to stop their bullying and harassment
campaign to threaten people who were doing their best to cope with and pay off
their debt to the bank. The Watchdog said the bank had used the courts to get
charging orders which transfer these debts to customers homes, already knowing
that they gave assurances that the unsecured loans would not cause any client to
lose their home.....yet they were actively engaged in this with an eye on
snatching a share of the sale price.....and be in a position to apply to the
courts to force a sale.

NAT WEST BANK AND
THE MISSING MONEY -- A Customer's Money! Ray Francis (who was a retired bank
manager in fact) had two Isa's and dealt with Northern Rock -- he decided after
cashing them £16,000 that he would transfer to The National Westminster Bank.
All seemed well and he was assured by Northern Rock that they had sent the
cheques to Nat West. When he checked his account with Nat West the money was
not there, and the bank said it was not their fault, and in a carefree couldn't
care less fashion, they said he ought to chase Northern Rock. After giving him
this cold shoulder treatment he took things further, and eventually Nat West
owned up that the cheques had gone missing in their system. His account was
reinstated with the £16,000 and they sent him a 'Good will Gesture' of £790.

NB: as one
observer noted -- this in stark contrast to the generosity of the public who
bailed them out to the tune of £45 billion.

' CORRUPT BANKS
IGNORE THE LAW '

BARCLAYS,
WESTMINSTER, LLOYDS AND OTHERS are actively writing their own conditions and
calling it LAW. The F.S.A. a regulating authority have stated that payment
should be immediately paid when credit cards are stolen and used --- but the
banks claim they cannot release funds to cover this because of fraud
investigations --- what about banks defrauding customers? --- nothing much
said about that --- or laws eager to tackle the banks. The so-called Financial
Ombudsman is in many ways -- USELESS, and customers are expected to accept this
without question --- when in fact -- without the customers the banks would not
exist. One case cited concerned a woman customer of BARCLAYS who had her credit
card stolen and used. The thief was caught and convicted, BARCLAYS still did
not pay compensation despite this proving that the woman had no blame in the
incident or behaved responsibly. BARCLAYS if you remember was involved in South
African arms deals and money laundering to support these awful causes (that
Britain at one time deplored -- but secretly assisted).

BANK COMPLAINTS
STILL HIGH -- THE THREE TOP OF THE LIST ARE -- BARCLAYS, LLOYDS TSB and
SANTANDER --- 1300 a day against Barclays, around 1200 for LLoyds and just under
that for Santander.

' £62 billion '
Secret Loans' by the Bank Of England exposed '

DECEPTION YET
AGAIN, --- Criminal Law has a section under ' Deception' but Solicitors,
Barristers and Crown Agents including Civil Servants are conveniently immune
from prosecution under the Deception requirements and that shows that lies and
double standards were catered for when they were finally made Law --- but, all
Laws are passed by Parliament -- by Lawyers and Politicians -- so what else can
be expected when they have a self-written pass to corruption. A year ago in
October 2008, before the bank bubble broke revealing ' toxic loans' the Bank of
England secretly loaned The Royal Bank of Scotland, HBOS and Lloyd TSB ( and
others) a staggering £62 billion and shareholders at Lloyds were not told a
thing. Transparency and Public Accountability was voiced and promised by the
Government when the next amount to bail out the banks followed -- yet they still
indulged in secrecy and continue to do so in the light of this secret being
revealed. This clearly shows that no amount of denials can cover the fact that
the government lies and hides the truth when convenient.

' Ombudsman
reveals that Banks are yet again breaking the rules '

Despite the
articles we feature here about bank corruption, they continue to flout the rules
while standing firm on how good they are and what changes they have done. The
Ombudsman recently came out and said they are still failing to handle the
payment protection insurance and that their claims that complaints are reducing
are in fact -- a lie. Complaints are up a staggering 45 per cent on last year
and the banks are blatantly claiming their prediction of complaints falling is
on target. Two million people have been miss- sold payment protection insurance
leaving consumers out of pocket. High Street brokers SWINTON were FINED
£770,000 for its part in miss-selling and was ordered to refund £7.8million in
premiums to around half a million customers.

' Banks dismiss
300,00 complaints and flout the warnings '

YES, THEY ARE AT
IT AGAIN, MAKING THEMSELVES THE LAW -- mis-sold payment insurance, denied
refunds totalling thousands of pounds for rip-off protection insurance is still
going on because of bank greed and staff who have been told to reject
complaints. The FSA have found that this attitude by the banks is forcing too
many into having to take up their cases with the Ombudsman. From our articles,
and there are many, the banks could not care less about warnings as they are
clearly beyond the law and have no desire to adhere to it. There is an amazing
1000 complaints a week, many of these being ignored, deliberately misled and
others being railroaded by the banks. We have a week government who worship
money, and the banks are untouchable because of this despite the fact that it
isn't really their money. People deposit money into banks, investors put money
into banks and finally -- the taxpayer props up banks, but this has no sway
whatsoever when you have bank corruption on such a large scale.

' WHICH magazine
slams LLoyds and Santander for poor service '

THE LATEST SURVEY
ON BANK PERFORMANCE BY WHICH reveals that LLoyds and Santander are in the bottom
three of the poorest performing banks in relation to customer service and good
value. The survey suggests they go back to the drawing board in regard of
training, as staff do not meet up to the needs of customers and flagrantly flout
all the rules in order to protect the bank's interests rather than the customers
who actually put cash in to them. Time and time again we have highlighted and
featured these banks and their fiddles, but nothing gets changed, not even the
boring rhetoric from the banks spokesperson who regularly spouts rubbish about
how well they are addressing the problems when in fact they haven't a clue.

' Secrecy in Bank
Investigations rules yet again '

It came to light
on a channel 4 news item that the FSO who were conducting an inquiry into the
bankers over the financial mess they spawned, and their huge bonuses, are being
shielded from the public by a gagging order which has not been challenged by
this ' transparent and clean ' government. A secrecy now exists with the
findings, a secrecy the last government were keen to tell us would no longer
exist and a freedom of information that looks as fake as the government does.
Remember Accountability, well we said earlier that you will not get it from any
government that perpetuates secrecy and corruption, and here they are again
allowing big bankers bonuses and very little if none -- truth or accountability.

' The Greatest
Banking Swindle of all time '

THIS GOVERNMENT
AND THE BANKING FRATERNITY OF THE UK PULLED OFF THE SWINDLE OF A LIFETIME, yes
indeed, the rich got richer and the poor have been conned and used to scrimp and
save to fund the lifestyles of banking investors, the rich, and the privileged.
When one looks at the so-called bank collapse, no-one in the banking industry
were that worried or showed the least signs of being troubled. They knew and
counted on a rescue because it had to be and they were dictating the terms, and
always have, and will. Even now while the country forks out to prop up the
system, they yet again help themselves to the billions of bonus money and dare
anyone to stop them. These elite were always there, plundering the wealth of
others and paying themselves well over the odds to secure power for those that
they really served. Not ' Joe Bloggs ' but the powerful, authority, politicians
and business moguls, some of those that still get up to insider dealing, fraud
so huge, that to discover it would only hurt those investigating. That's
business, banking on getting very rich and never losing no matter how the dice
are tossed.

' Banks to pay
more big bonuses in 2011 '

THESE
UNTOUCHABLES ARE YET AGAIN PAYING BIG BONUSES - Despite the new Lib-Con
government and its promises of a shake-up in the banks, bankers are set to
receive more super big bonuses. JP MORGAN CHASE have defied this government with
ease and self assurance -- they intend to lift the bonuses pot by 4 per cent to
neatly nine billion dollars. The Investment Bank pays no heed to world cries.
MORGAN CHASE said they had spent £17.7billion worldwide on pay and bonuses.
David Hillman spokesman for The Robin Hood Tax Campaign is calling for a global
tax on these banks saying ' if they can afford to pay more to staff then they
should pay more in taxes ' Figures released show that an average London Banker
earned around £150,000 a year.

' Disgraced Bank
Chiefs make legal bid to gag public from information '

TWO MAJOR BANK
FIGURES who were involved in the banking crash have launched a legal battle with
the Watchdog Committee to have information censored in order to prevent the
public from knowing what happened. Sir Fred Goodwin and Peter Cummings former
senior executives clashed with the Regulator and contacted lawyers to suppress
and silence the coming FSA report, which has already been delayed by the banks.
They are fighting to avoid details being placed in the public domain, this flies
in the face of accountability and supposed transparency and the taxpayers bail
out to these firms to the sum of £65billion. It also shows the bigger you are
the more you can get away with it. ---- Power does breed corruption.

' Banks revel in
Deceit '

Yet again the
shame returns to banking and the low standards they achieve -- WHICH reported
on the complex overdraft charges that banking lawyers have invented for their
masters to fleece and extort out of customers who find the system very difficult
to understand. Accusations that this is deliberate is now believed as the banks
extort the maximum capital from those who unwittingly borrow too much.

'The
Holidaymakers ripped-off by Banks '

It doesn't seem
to change no matter how many items we publish on the banking system, they
neither atone or care, so we will just carry on like them..... and what next?
''' Yes, they are now exploiting and extorting yet more cash from the public,
the holiday maker and the exchange rates. A report says they are making
£millions on exorbitant fees on debit cards. It says holidaymakers are being
charged well over two pounds to withdraw twenty euros which is around sixteen
pounds at an ATM. The report says that these fees are not up front and more
often than not put into small print hidden by the forest of other jargon.

'Banks Accused of
Serious Misconduct '

THE FSA has
strongly criticised THE ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND saying that they will be subject
of hefty fines for serious misconduct. The FSA said there had been a reckless
culture where staff were to focus on signing up more borrowers to raise revenue
while playing down the risks.

HBOS BANK IGNORES
THE RISKS - HBOS was found guilty of serious misconduct by the FSA who said
there was a 'collective denial' in the bank over the banking crisis. The FSA
said there had been 'severe' failings and that the bank had only just escaped a
substantial financial penalty.

' Standard
Chartered Bank pay over £300 million to US to make the problem disappear '
AFTER
DENIALS and a battle that has lost them millions in share prices, the Standard
Chartered Bank finally owned up to having 'done a little money-laundering' by
paying out multi millions to the New York Department of Financial Services, who
branded the bank as a 'rogue institution' whose dealings with Iran plus the
'denied' claims it hid transactions of £160 billion from the Regulators crossing
Britain to the USA. The bank said they were settling the matter to bring a close
to the revelations that have been released and anymore that might have been.
Interestingly like others caught in the cash till, they say it was all to do
with 'administrative errors'

' Banks in push
to cease 'free banking' after their own criminal scandal '

Actually, there
are no 'free banking deals' -- research shows that banks are already charging in
other ways by subterfuge and covert activities fuelled by their greed to elicit
payments in any way they can by means fair or foul. The fact that banks can get
away with engaging in criminal deceit and fraud is now firmly established as the
Judiciary shy away from taking proper action because the government thinks this
is unwise! The LIBOR SCAM has taken no prisoners in the UK Banks, quite the
opposite really...but what is now emerging is their new requests for 'all bank
accounts to be charged for' despite fleecing the customer by way of being bailed
out for millions by the taxpayer, paying themselves huge bonuses and sticking
two fingers up at the public. Extortion is an ugly word, once having legal
properties...but for banks it is a byword and practise they may pursue without
interference....that is the power of banks today. Mike O'Connor of the watchdog
Focus said ' customers are already facing indirect costs, poor service and
customer care along with immoral sales techniques and this moves adds more to
that -- yet it is the people and customers supporting this institution that has
no qualms about inflicting it's perverse regulations and demands on them with as
little accountability as possible.'

WHICH MAGAZINE
have revealed that some 'overdraft' customers are being charged up to £900 a
year --- and others are paying penalty charges of £20 plus for late payments -
penalties incurred by Mail Deliveries and transfers being held-up between
accounts --- the banks do not feel obliged to overlook this, yet pay nothing in
compensation for their own errors unless forced to do so by the Ombudsman -- and
even then, they take their time knowing it annoys the aggrieved customer.

'UBS Bank fined
over Fraud '

THE FINANCIAL
SERVICES AUTHORITY FINE UBS BANK £29.7MILLION OVER ADOBOLI FRAUD - for failing
to stop rogue trader Kweku Adoboli who was recently jailed. The fine was based
on fifteen per cent of the bank's annual revenue.

' RBS Face
Criminal Charges in Libor Case '

THE ROYAL BANK OF
SCOTLAND are facing criminal charges in the USA over the Libor Price-Fixing
Scandal. US Attorneys say that its traders fixed the interest rates in order to
deceive investors. They say a fine in the region of £500million must be
considered over the wrong-doing at the bank (as it was with Barclays which paid
£290m), the bank watchdog says pleading to criminal charges could expose the
bank to huge civil actions in the American courts.

RBS IS FINED £390
MILLION FOR ITS ROLE IN LIBOR PRICE FIXING SCANDAL. (FEB 2013)

' RBS to be investigated by police '

ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND -- are to be
investigated for wrong-doing after an FSO Inquiry. The FSO was examining
the Bank's behaviour after being alerted to a Civil Case against RBS which
concerned a former client who had his assets seized by the bank. This
uncovered 'serious allegations' that the bank were defrauding companies and
forcing some to close. The businessman presented the City of London Police
with a dossier supporting his civil action.

FORMER GOVERNMENT ADVISOR SAYS RBS
GAVE MISLEADING EVIDENCE -- Lawrence Tomlinson a pillar of the financial
institutions says RBS executives are making a mockery of the system.
Lawrence was for a time a chosen one, and was with Vince Cable's Department for
Business Innovation and Skills. It is reported that he ignited a storm of
controversy RBS's Global Restructuring Group which led to a series of
investigations. City Law Firm CLIFFORD CHANCE 'said they found no evidence
to support the claims'. The Bank of England Deputy Governor criticised the
RBS but said it was beyond the scope of his remit, and couldn't involve himself.
However, despite two executives going before the Treasury Committee and making
denials of any wrongdoing, they were forced to issue an apology to the Committee
for misleading evidence they had backed and supported at the Interview.

RBS AND MIS-SELLING TO FAILING FIRMS
--- Lending to firms in trouble did not stop RBS from granting such loans
because they were actively mis-selling and knew about it. Some 1,800 loans
are being scrutinized as RBS admit to selling loans to firms in distress.
The bank's troubles are still ongoing as they try to steer clear of the public.
Lending to small businesses under The Government Enterprise Finance Guarantee
Scheme has revealed that borrowers through the scheme are still liable to repay
the entire cost, which may have not been explained to them when they took the
loan. Under the Enterprise scheme the government underwrites (takes
responsibility) 75 percent of the loans that are offered to businesses unable to
secure lending.

' Banks rely on
'small print' to confuse and deceive clients '

A new 2012 Report
says there are 30,000 words in a current account agreement that baffle
customers, let alone help them. which they certainly do not. It says it takes
up to 90 minutes to actually get through the jargon and implied terms, actual
terms, liabilities, and terms that cancel out what was seemingly
straightforward, which enables the banks to deny any liability when anything
goes wrong, which it frequently does. It says they conceal rules on penalty
charges and use jargon to take away rights and hold ultimate power of being able
to change anything without giving notice.....words such as 'assign, transfer,
obligations, unlimited time, refer, subject to, conditional, pass on and period
of, etc, are used frequently....meaning very little to the ones who can actually
read the small print....others simply hope that it is fair.

' Banks are
receiving over 11,000 PPI complaints and claims each week '

THE COSTS ARE SET
TO BE IN THE BILLIONS OF COMPENSATION -- The mis-selling scandal has not shown
any signs of decrease as the claims are arriving at around 11,000 every week.
The Ombudsman has had to take on more staff to cope with the deluge of
calls....they received 145,546 complaints about PPI in just three months, and
had to employ a thousand new and extra staff. Banks are being forced to set
aside something in the region of £11 billion at the present time, and this is
seen as inadequate already. RBS added a further £400million to its expected
payout, LLoyds announced an additional £1 billion to its sum bringing it to
£5.3 billion, Barclays said it needed to find another £700 million on top of its
agreed £1 billion.

BANKS TO BE GIVEN
'FREE PASS CARD' ON PPI SETTLEMENTS: A recent report has revealed that banks
are going to be allowed to renege or throw out the biggest claims against
them....and this has been given the go-ahead by THE FINANCIAL SERVICES
AUTHORITY.

AS USUAL the
banking Industry kept fairly quiet about the £12.4 billion when the Labour
Government overpaid on shares in the banks back in 2008........the money was
written off and hidden away in the budget of 2010. It now seems that Treasury
Officials have exposed this debt -- as Lloyds is about to offload the taxpayers
stake.....this debt was caused by Gordon Brown's Government because they pumped
£66 billion of public money to bail out two banks and paid over-the-odds as per
the real market value -- and said nothing about the secret write-off.

BANKS CAUSE ANGER AS CUSTOMER'S
CARDS ARE DECLINED --- Customers were fuming when they found they were
unable to draw their money out at cash machines. Customers of Halifax,
LLoyds, TSB and Bank of Scotland.....all more or less under the Lloyds Banking
Group....could not access their accounts for several days. It was blamed
on a Server error.....and technicians were called in to fix the problems.

' Norwich and
Peterborough Building Society are fined '

FINED £1.4
MILLION, NORWICH AND PETERBOROUGH BUILDING SOCIETY HAVE TO REPAY £51MILLION to
thousands of pensioners and other savers they lured into investing in risky
schemes. The FSA said a company called Keydata went bust in 2009 and around
40,000 investors lost their investments including 3,200 ill advised Norwich and
Peterborough customers. The FSA said each customer will get around £15,000 each.

BULLYING that was the decision made
against the Halifax Bank of Scotland, and much of this was levelled at the staff
who work for this bank, Armanda Roberts was awarded £7,500 for harassment
after receiving 550 phone calls from staff at the bank 'which shocked the court
on hearing the recorded messages' This all came about because she missed a
single payment on a loan. This bank branch is situated in Dewsbury, West
Yorkshire, for those interested to pinpoint the culprits of the vendetta against
the customer. The court heard how thoroughly and upsetting these calls
were, and how they pervaded into her private life from 8 am to 9 pm for days.
This wasn't all this bank did -- they blocked her account and staff refused to
sort it out. It was quite obvious that the bank thought she had no proof
when they sent a team of expensive lawyers to 'crush' her......but luckily she
had recorded every call.....it was also heard in court that the calls continued
after she had paid the arrears?.....and furthermore, at the end of the case
after losing, the bank spent £30,000 on an appeal, which thankfully, they lost
at the London Appeals Court.

' Eight Banks in 'foreign
rate-fixing' investigation '

EIGHT BANKS are to be investigated
by the Watchdog in relation to suspected foreign rate-fixing.... this includes
BARCLAYS and THE ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND. WEKO the Regulator are looking
into collusion and the collaboration between these banks to manipulate exchange
rates in foreign currency trading. More than a dozen regulators throughout
the world are looking into this practice.... the UBS suspended up to six traders
bringing the current number of suspensions to 30 so far. The FCA said they
will be looking into this more widely!

CURRENCY FIX AND BANKS --six
of the banks investigated are said to be facing a £2billion fine for rigging the
currency market.

' Bank of America - Merrill Lynch
International fined £13.3 million '

LONDON - US BANK BROKERS MERRILL
LYNCH found themselves being fined £13.3million by The Financial Conduct
Authority for inaccurate reporting. It was said that the firm had been
given a prior warning in 2002 and fined £150,000 for the same offence in 2006.
Now 2015, the Authority found that the company was engaging in transaction
reporting failings of a high nature and volume. A spokesperson said 'it
seems the company has not learned at all from the fine it paid before.'

' Investigation into the Credit Card
Industry by Watchdog '

Trouble on the Credit Card front as the
Financial Conduct Authority moves in to investigate the credit card giants who
it is said are being market too aggressively. It was revealed that there
was around 30 million card holders who have an outstanding debt of around £56.9
billion. The regular complaint is that the card companies are pushing
customers into running up debts they cannot afford, and some who cannot repay
them.

' THE EQUITABLE
LIFE INSURANCE SCANDAL OF 2008 '

This scandal
involved the Government no less. People who provided for their pensions with
the company were told lies -- in that it was a safe company -- one the
Government backed. The Treasury said they could not pay out anything despite
the collapse, and were waiting for the findings of the Ombudsman. Any payout in
the long distant future IF OF COURSE A PAYOUT IS MADE, will be too late for
many, thus avoiding any payout to them. It is of course ' a conspiracy to
defraud pensioners' and no one will be held accountable.

£1.5billion has
been offered by the government in compensation -- just a third of the
£4.5billion needed. The blame is constantly on the regulators -- people highly
paid to get it right and keep an eye on the company, but they just walked away
from the problem leaving many with huge losses and reduced pensions. Government
spokespersons say it's a fair offer especially as they mention what the country
can afford at the moment. But this does not excuse the fact that this company
was heralded as safe by government. the present government want closure --- but
no-one will be brought to face a trial over this as expected.

' AVIVA ACCUSED
OF LIES IN PENSION TV ADVERTS '

WHICH MAGAZINE
openly attacked AVIVA saying they were misleading savers in their high profile
TV ad campaign. Which says their claim offering pension incomes 20 percent
higher than others in 22 per cent of cases was inaccurate. The real figure was 3
per cent of cases, and the Advertising Standards Authority have banned the
advert because Aviva had not produced the evidence to back up their claims.

Beware of the clauses that don't
seem relevant because you may not get paid out if you make a claim on your life
insurance having discovered you have cancer just before the end of the insurance
policy.....one man found this and because it was in the last eighteen
months.....Aviva refused to pay out.....and that clause situation covered them.

' THE AIRWAYS
PRICE-FIXING SCANDAL '

THIS INVOLVED
BRITISH AIRWAYS AND VIRGIN AIRWAYS. This centred around fixing surcharges on
fuel. Board Room Executives Ian Burns and Martin George both executives with
British Airways came in for the severest criticism. The United States Justice
Department revealed that VIRGIN AIRWAYS colluded six times with BRITISH
AIRWAYS, and had it not been for the fact they helped in exposing the matter
they would not have received immunity under the Enterprise Act. The United
States fined BRITISH AIRWAYS the sum of £270 million for price-fixing.

' ASDA
SUPERMARKET GUILTY OF UNLAWFUL KILLING '

After months of
wrangling ASDA were found guilty of negligence regarding their barriers in
parking facilities on their premises. A customer's death came about when a
barrier suddenly sprang or fell and hit the vehicle killing the driver. Their
Trade Lawyer tried to pass off the incident as a mistake, yet made no comment
about their responsibility for the death caused by their barrier.

ASDA have not
paid any compensation in regard to the above and nor have they been fined
despite being found guilty of negligence (we scoured the Net and put in a
Freedom of Information Request to no avail)

The same company
were accused of ' price-fixing' on their videos and using the discount to mean
what they liked at the time.

' ASDA MAKE
ADDITIONAL PROFITS BY CONFUSING THE CUSTOMERS '

ASDA SUPERMARKETS
keep running promotional and end of the line bargains enticing customers to get
items with good reductions. Some items have clear red labels and are in rows
where the price can clearly be seen, but this is often a nonsense. Staff mark
up the items at a previously higher price and claim that it has come out as
showing it on the till pc. It appears they do not actually know what is going
on themselves, but they continue to charge the customer the higher price despite
the markdown on the items which is against the sale of goods and Trade
Descriptions. Clearly a case of ripping off the customer yet again.

' ASDA OFFER WAS
TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE --Asda annoyed many customers when they offered a deal of
giving a voucher worth £75 to reduce bills. This online offer was a weekend
thing, and many people logged on to benefit from it. However, before the 5000
plus customers had their deliveries, ASDA bosses pulled the offer. They blamed
it on a mix up causing many of the people who made large orders in order to
benefit from the voucher pay full price and lose out.

' ASDA IN
OVERCHARGING SCANDAL - Asda Supermarkets have been exposed by BBC's Watchdog
over hiking up bills of customers - some as much as £100 over the actual bill.
Hundreds of customers contacted Watchdog to complain about the callous way they
were dealt with by staff when they queried the bills. Blame again! was put on
computer systems, but angry customers pointed at inexperienced and incompetent
staff.

'ASDA CHEAT ON
'ROLL-BACK' PRICES --- Asda makes continuous claims of giving value to the
customer, but this is a misleading claim -- as it now appears that many items on
the 'roll-back' have been compared to one year previously --- the rule is
supposed to refer to the previous price, but Adsa have acted deviously with
slight-of-hand intentions to deceive its customers and have in fact, been
breaking the Consumer Protection Laws, and doing it furtively. It was urged by
a spokesperson for the consumer watchdog that Trading Standards should prosecute
them.

ASDA - A LAW UNTO
THEMSELVES --- It is a fact in the 21st Century that Big Business can literally
write their own rules and codes of conduct; the latter not being worth the paper
it is printed on! Management of course does not take any responsibility for
indiscretions by staff -- and they are monumental and many, but you will not
find these written anywhere...they are concealed and kept under wraps. We can
confirm that such reports are 'confidential' according to memos leaked to us.
Staff with convictions are quietly withdrawn and are made aware of 'the company
policy' and those caught removing 'perks' - goods from the company warehouse
whether after date or otherwise are not prosecuted -- they are removed from the
premises or dismissed very quietly without fuss. Asda claim the right to
'discipline' misbehaviour as they see fit without any recourse to Law, yet they
go against this with their public stand of 'shoplifters will be prosecuted' --
indicating their twisted concept of Law.

' Tesco accused
of dirty tricks '

THE GIANT
SUPERMARKET CHAIN TESCO found itself in serious trouble over using financial
muscle and dirty tricks to push through its plans to build new big stores. Even
opposition seems to be ignored and actually stepped over in many cases where
complaints outweigh their proposals the report says. There were allegations that
the company bought a shopping precinct through a 'fronting' company, and allowed
it to become derelict. This allowed them to use the poor state of the shopping
centre in Linwood to win council backing for a massive new Tesco complex,
sidestepping opposition more easily.

TESCO was also
involved in what was termed on the BBC Watchdog programme - conducting a fraud
and lie in relation to ' Better Value Packs'. A survey showed that bigger packs
actually cost more than if you bought two individual packs that contained just
as much as the big value pack, and this was apparent on a number of products.
Asda did not fair well either as they indulged in the same trick. Morrisons
reduced? well that came out at being reduced quality, reduced honesty and the
'reduced deals' as being a nonsense.

TESCO Staff
ignore good procedures of shopping to further management profits. Staff we are
told do not exactly induce confidence in customers, and some act rude and
antagonistic deliberately at several major big stores around the south. Reports
of ignoring customers have been made, but laughed at by staff. One customer in
the Portsmouth Region actually found themselves to be victimised by security
when an alarm went off several times, which humiliated the customer -- who left
the store buying nothing, -- well done that customer.

TESCO came into a
wrangle of meat prices and identification as it was revealed that they were
misleading customers because of their lack of knowledge, which did not seem to
stop them breaching the Trades Description Law and getting away with it.

TESCO PAVE WAY
FOR SUPERSTORE BY BUYING POLICE A NEW STATION -- certainly looks like a bribe,
feels like a bribe, but not an ordinary one -- more subtle perhaps. A spokesman
for the campaign group Tescopoly said ' this is another example of the Tesco
takeover of towns by buying and influence to gain' Labour MP Barry Sheerman
said ' I cannot see the difference between this and a bribe ' ' If a dodgy bloke
went to the council and said give me planning permission and I'll make sure you
get a nice new police station, it would be referred for investigation '

TESCO FINED
£10MILLION by The Office Of Fair Trading for Price-fixing, along with eight
other big firms such as ASDA. These companies were said to have been nudging
prices up on the shelf and working in collusion to fool shoppers. Much of the
evidence centred on dairy products such as milk and cheese.

TESCO IN
UNDERHAND JOB OFFER ISSUE APOLOGY --- Supermarket Giant Tesco have been rapped
after it was discovered offering jobs seeking permanent staff for expenses and
jobseekers allowance. Tesco spokespersons said this was an error? although it
appeared on a Jobcentre website. As we have already shown, the use of the word
'error' is a massive cover-up for the truth.

TESCO RAPPED FOR
SELLING TAP WATER IN BOTTLES LABELLED FALSELY --- It has been established that
Tesco have calmly deceived and breached the consumer regulation Trade
Descriptions Act, but that has not been followed up on...instead they have
labelled this act as 'Immoral' -- yet another false description.... they called
it filtered water and sold it for 17p a bottle (economy range- own label) --and
were placed on the shelves alongside their 'spring water' display with an
obvious intention to mislead the customer. (ASDA have done this)

TESCO AND THE
ILLEGAL WORKERS -- Tesco faces massive fines over the employing of foreign
students in one of its warehouses. Border Agencies arrested 20 workers in a
raid at Croydon over breaches of visa conditions. Tesco said they were
cooperating with the investigation fully!

TESCO IN 'FALSE BARGAIN' IDEOLOGY TO FOOL CUSTOMERS -- Tesco have continually
fed the public with mis-information about saving money for the customer...but
customers recently pointed out that the bargain deals just didn't add up. One
bargain pointed out was the chocolate muffins...often sold in four packs for £1
or £1-20...yet there exists a two pack of muffins £1 sometimes on the reduction
counter marked down to 65p --- even at that with less packaging it's no
bargain....they've simply upped the price before pretending to offer it as a
savers deal...this also goes for the pack of apple turnovers that went for 98p
up to £1.20p calling itself a saving?..and iced Belgian buns once in a two pack
for just under a pound now being sold single at nearly 80 pence each...and
reduced on special offer to 65p each....still claiming a save....but the maths
show this to be yet another falsity

TESCO AND THE
'TRADES DESCRIPTION' ACT FRAUD -- Sadly not just Tesco....News that Tesco
advertises on its meat products as being 100 percent beef turned to disaster
when it was discovered that many products contained horse meat....and no
beef.......their value range on burgers and spaghetti bolognaise turned out to
contain no beef whatsoever.....just horsemeat, but that wasn't listed in the
ingredients.....which makes a nonsense of this law entirely.

TESCO IS FINED
£60,000 -- Tesco had been warned at an earlier date about hygiene at some of its
stores and had been warned by health Inspectors. It appears they had an
infestation of rodents 'an extreme plague' it was said which was enjoying the
food at a Metro Store in Covent Garden....the strange thing about Tesco is that
they neither care or have any real concern for their actions -- whether it is
'short-changing' customers at the tills, the incorrect labelling and false
bargains.....they repeat these things so often and use words like ' we didn't
know and it wasn't meant to deceive'

TESCO SHAREHOLDERS
SUE THE COMPANY -- Because of a gaping £265 million black hole in the finances,
Shareholders are now to sue the Management it is reported. Millions was
wiped off the share values in the £265 million profits black hole scandal.
Shareholders acting in a class action have allowed a firm specialising in
funding legal actions to pay for the lawsuit against Tesco. This accuse
Tesco of misleading shareholders in statements about its true financial
position. The case is being brought by STEWARTS LAW who it is said is
fighting RBS Bank on behalf of 800 major shareholders.

Update April 2015
-- The action has been filed in the court.........Tesco declined to comment on
the case.

TESCO AND THE
ACCOUNTING SCANDAL --- TESCO found itself unable to shake off the revelations
and bad press highlighting their dubious trading methods and deceit to the
customer. Reports say that the Government Grocery Watchdog is launching an
investigation into Tesco's abuse of suppliers. At the same time the
Serious Fraud Office and Financial Reporting Office are conducting a full scale
inquiry into Tesco's £268 million profit mis-statement. The inquiry will
also be looking into delayed payments to suppliers and whether it imposed unfair
and impossibly large fees on suppliers for prominent end-of-aisle
positions, neither of which are allowed under the trading practices.

' Breaches of
trading regulations -- The big four shops do it regularly '

THE BIG FOUR -
ASDA, TESCO, MORRISON'S and SAINSBURY'S have yet again been discovered as
committing those acts of deceit with customers, especially in the weights and
labelling of products. The law has been criminally broken, but no-one at any
other supermarkets will go to prison, why? because it is a corporate situation
and fining is all there is. Every time, like so many others, that they are
caught out it is conveniently called 'an error or were not aware the 'mistake'
had occurred' never actually what it is like deliberate misleading and deceit.
One gets tired of the word 'allegedly' bandied about, and 'thieves' should be
inserted where it is appropriate.....these corporate giants will continue to
play around with the law for their own purposes using lawyers to interpret these
deceitful moves as 'not quite criminal not intended and cannot be seen as a
deliberate attempt to flout the law, and oversight that will be
rectified.....they will invent and come up with something.

' THE SCANDAL OF
OFGEM AND THE GOVERNMENT '

OFGEM are a board
set up to observe and make sure consumers get a good deal, but they don't, and
they are not willing to explain things either. Accountability nil. Taxpayers
pay all the civil servants wages for working there, but they don't do anything.
Millions is paid to this company and its building costs the taxpayers too. All
the workers should be fired along with the bosses --- this would be a saving.
On the subject of prices and a fair deal for consumers the Government refused to
account for this along with the retail prices commission leaving the public
without an answer. What you have here is arrogance and deceit on a huge scale,
none of those mentioned cannot tell the truth and that is a scandal that should
be investigated and those involved fined and sacked wherever possible.

OFGEM PAY OUT
MILLIONS IN BONUSES TO STAFF despite being the watchdog for regulating prices
and making sure that people are not ripped off on prices for energy.

' N-POWER refunds
£70million to overcharged customers '

N-POWER one of
the biggest energy suppliers in the UK, finally admitted to its mistakes and is
about to pay out a record sum of £70 million to overcharged customers. The firm
acknowledged that it left customers angry and disappointed with its service and
billing.

' N-POWER is fined
£2million '

OFGEM FINED
N-POWER £2Million for mishandling customer complaints and had warned them
previously over this kind of behaviour. The German owned giant took too long to
deal with complaints and was seen to be actively ignoring them in attempt to
push the problem away. They also misled customers about their rights to take
the firm to the Ombudsman, and kept others in the dark when they could. N-Power
offered lame excuses!

'N-POWER is fined
over 'silent intrusive phone calls'

N-POWER IS FINED
AGAIN OVER AUTOMATED 'SILENT' PHONE CALLS. N-Power found themselves again in
trouble with the Regulator over disturbing cold calls to people. The telephone
calls came from generated auto-calls created by pc's......some thousands were
just silent....others had recorded messages. The company was fined £60,000. It
had made 1,756 abandoned telephone calls and played marketing messages. Ofcom
were given assurances that N-Power would be compensating some of those affected
by the intrusions.

' N-Power is hit with £3.5million
penalty for mis-selling '

THE GIANT ENERGY COMPANY has been
hit again over its commercial misconduct --- They broke the rules again
when they attempted to persuade customers to switch suppliers over the
phone.....Watchdog OFgem said that they were giving these callers misleading
estimates on how much they could save by coming with N-Power when it wasn't
exactly true. The Company was also found guilty of failing to properly
explain when monthly direct debits would come under review, and when customers
could expect to receive discounts.

' N-Power receives most complaints '

TOP OF THE PUBLIC'S LIST is N-POWER,
the company that imposes the highest price rise of 10.4 per cent in Britain 2014
(Winter Period). Complaints against the company from customers rose by 25
percent. Consumer Focus said the results were very disappointing..... but
N-Power blamed it on their new billing system!

'Cold Call
complaints go from 1,136 to 2,630 in 12 months '

THE COLD CALLING
METHODS invented by Jobcentres and Industry in the Eighties were supposed to
have been outlawed in the millennium..... but in 2012 they are said to have
doubled. Unwanted calls by marketing companies have ignored the Telephone
Preference Service at times and gone ahead despite knowing that some numbers of
people were not to be inconvenienced. Ofcom say they will taker a tougher stand
against companies if this trend increases. Companies are using technology to
ring lots of homes without having the staff to deal with its business....so when
the person picks up the phone there is just silence...which can make or cause
people to think they might be burgled or are being stalked or watched.
HomeServe was fined £750,000 for persistent calls to people. Talk - Talk was
another....and many complaints were about the mis-selling and Insurance calls
where companies claimed you had a claim and they could handle it, when in fact
you had no such claim, least with that company...and it turns out to be an
annoying fishing expedition by agents to lawyers.

'Cold-call
scandal by energy giant EDF'

THE FRENCH OWNED
Energy provider EDF were blasted by the Regulator for a con that involved
door-to-door staff not being trained enough and didn't give customers all the
information needed before signing a contract. OFGEM said that vulnerable people
were being ripped off by cold-call salesmen. Facing a mammoth fine, the French
owned group who claim to have policies designed to prevent vulnerable people
being cheated say they will pay a poultry £50 to each of the 70,000 customers
taken advantage of.

OFGEM say they
are investigating SCOTTISH POWER, SSE who used to be Scottish and Southern
Energy, and the giant company N-POWER.

'EDF
to pay £3million over complaints '

Energy Company EDF owned by the
French, landed in trouble again and was ordered by Ofgem to pay £3 million to
'vulnerable customers' over the way it routinely mishandled complaints.
The regulators said that EDF failed to have sufficiently robust processes in
place when they introduced the new IT system and this led to the unacceptable
handling of complaints. They were not geared up to properly receive,
record and process all customers' complaints in accordance with handling rules.
Customers were kept on hold for long periods with many hanging up the phone.

'Energy Firm
Scottish and Southern are fined £1.25million '

Using the trick -
to get people to switch energy suppliers has cost the major supplier
£1.25million in a court action brought by the Trading Standards Dept and Surrey
County Council whose officers found that the company was 'misleading'
home-owners over the amount they spent on energy bills and promising to undercut
them or provide cheaper alternatives. Guildford Crown Court found the firm
guilty of taking part in misleading selling practises during 2008 and 2009. The
Firm's doorstep team were told to tell people they had information showing they
were paying an excessive amount for their energy from their current supplier
when in fact, there was no information at all.

' Power Giant EON
found to have overcharged 94,000 customers '

EON ARE TO PAY
OUT £1.4 MILLION to around 94,000 customers it overcharged on energy bills. The
Watchdog said a fine would not help as it was better that EON voluntarily agreed
to pay compensation to these angry customers. They used words like 'regrettable
and an Oversight' to describe the situation and say they are updating the
system....'very sorry, and it will never happen again?

' Eon fined £12 million for mis-selling
'

EON are back again, and in a similar
situation to the above -- 'misleading customers' now fined a record £12m the
company have been caught giving out misleading information to potential customs,
doorstep selling methods that have been pressurised selling techniques, tricked
into buying unrealistic packages, and aggressive phone selling. They were
told by the Watchdog that the company suffered management failures which should
have been examined earlier, now they have been told to compensate around 500,000
customers. It has yet again apologised...but trust in these companies is
said to be at an all time low......in the first article they said it would not
happen again......so let us see what comes next!

' Power Giant SSE
fined £10.5million for 'Lies' '

THE WATCHDOG
REGULATOR has fined SCOTTISH SOUTHERN ELECTRIC a record £10.5 million pounds for
regularly lying to customers about pricing and making rash promises on what
could be saved on bills by switching over providers. MP's were urged to put the
matter into police hands and said they hope their will be a thorough
investigation. One MP said it was nothing short of fraud, and that's what any
investigation should concentrate on.

'Leading Energy firms are fined for bad
service '

FINED £3.3MILLION FOR LEAVING CUSTOMERS
IN THE DARK......Power Providers SSE and UKPN have been fined by the Regulators
over the prolonged power cuts during the Christmas period of 2013. The
Regulators concluded that they could have handled the situation better. It
is said this fine follows a customer compensation deal of £4.7million agreed
upon bringing the total payout cost to £8 million. regulators are already
planning to raise the minimum payment of compensation from £27 to £70 for
each customer in future where customers are left without gas and electricity for
24 hours.

'Energy Firms accused of robbing millions
of families '

SIX BIG ENERGY GIANTS have been listed as
'fleecing families out of £100 plus' because they didn't tell their customers of
falls in the price of gas and electricity....and neither did they voluntarily
pass this cut to help families at a time when they needed it. While
wholesale prices fell, the prices to the customers remained the same. The
six are British Gas, SSE, Npower, EDF, Eon and Scottish Power. Joe
Malinowski of the Energy Shop .com said consumers should have been paying around
£104 less each.

' Farmers and the
National Union of Farmers in false poverty claims '

One hears that
the farmers are having a bad deal theses days, but that is absolutely false.
Our Private Detective Richard Barrymore can reveal the darker side of these
claims. It appears that many of the farmers are getting large benefit cheques
at the taxpayers expense with a little false and incorrect claiming methods. The
union is looking the other way and in some cases, actually helping them to steer
round difficult answers by being rather ambiguous. Many such cases of this
fraud are occurring in the south of England, but there is a secrecy in place
which permits this situation to go on. Some farmers even approach lawyers in
order to grab land back or get higher premiums for land that had little value
due to sea reclamation. Because of the worry about 'food for the nation'
ministers fear to upset this elite group in case they get angry. Subsidies for
farmers are above average and this certainly provides a nice little earner for
the majority of farmers.

If you think
we're being unfair to farmers in exposing the scandal above, do not forget about
the battery farming of hens and the cruel ways these creatures are being treated
on farms. Hens are kept in cramped conditions and some are lame as the farmer
ignores all of this in order to boost profits while causing misery to the
chickens. When investigations were carried out many of these farmers resorted
to bully tactics and tried to prevent filming by protestors. Some so called
gentleman farmers actively encourage blood-sports on their land and pay no heed
to the 'hunting of fox ban' relying on their financial power to influence
judges, magistrates and lawyers to decline any real action against them.

' Is Public Greed
and Selfishness allowing Corruption to thrive?'

INDEED IT IS, one
has only to see the ever increasing 'want-to-be's', the people who want to get
rich and famous above all other considerations. They care little about
conscience or moral values, the latter is like a moving goal post. Some
mothers, in fact many really, try to realise wealth through their children --
often taking on a rather sickly paedophilic and suspiciously unpleasant
appearance that stalks the current family position in today's society. These
people will lie and cheat to obtain their goal and you will see many articles on
this page that support this as the truth. They merely grumble as politicians
fiddle, steal and lie. It goes on constantly due to inaction and attitudes, so
we shall continue highlighting cases of public corruption -- of which there is a
constant supply.

' Royal Mail
profits over unprotected Redirection Scam '

THE ROYAL MAIL
GIVE THEFT AN EASY RIDE AT THE EXPENSE OF FAILING CUSTOMERS that is the real
outcome over their profitable mail redirection service. A report shows them
hiding behind Data Protection at every turn when customers already hit by
thieves need help. Royal Mail doesn't help and the report emphasized that all
too clearly. Identity theft is rife enough and the Royal Mail are helping these
scammers every possible chance of using the service without the real person's
knowledge. The report shows they are getting rather good profits from this and
to the customer? -- a poor service. If this wasn't bad enough there are postmen
who have been committing criminal acts and stealing mail, and this was once the
subject of a television programme when workers were watching out for bank credit
cards and using them --- and selling them on.

ROYAL MAIL HIKE
UP ALL PRICES as they sell off contracts to franchise deals. Customers that had
deals in 2008 and up to 2009 faced their rents of PO BOXES nearly doubling in
2010 t0 2011, and then being hiked up again the following year 2012 to almost
double again without having to consult customers at all. Nearly all of their
services were farmed out to profiteers before they announced their stamps were
also to go up dramatically in price. What about the service? that's the same as
usual unless you are already suffering a poor service.

THE NEW ROYAL MAIL PARCEL SIZE SCAM --
When can a large parcel fit into a medium parcel and when can a small parcel be
categorised as a large parcel? Only when Royal
Mail Mathematicians' get together. Forget logic or commonsense, neither of
these things apply......they can actually turn white into black,,,,,,and iron
into gold. WATCHDOG did a test where they could actually fit a large size
parcel into a medium parcel, and it worked, The small parcel being priced
as the dearest could go twice in the medium parcel, which didn't cost as much as
the large parcel -- costing less than the small parcel...confused?

' BRITISH
PETROLEUM FINED OVER MASSIVE SAFETY FAILURES '

BP HAVE BEEN
FINED 87 MILLION DOLLARS over failures concerning health and safety
regulations. The giant oil firm are no strangers to fines and an appalling
record of failures. 270 violations have been levelled at them, and this is
years after the scandal of 170 workers injured and 15 killed. Bosses play it
down by claiming it is exaggerated or not reported correctly, -- but it is them
lying and believing the lies they have told. Even when they promised the
regulators that improvements would be made -- they failed to honour these
pledges. It's easy to see that they consider themselves above the law -- and
possibly buy the law when it is possible in the interests of the company.

BP FINED £2
BILLION after its holding in Russia resulted in a Siberian Court suing the
company for damages. BP commented by saying it was all part of 'a corporate
attack' on the company. The Court Action had been brought by Andrey Prokhorov a
small shareholder in the UK Oil joint Russian venture in 2010. He said this
violated another ongoing agreement which stated that all BP-Russian ventures
should be controlled by TNK-BP.

SCANDAL OF THE
TELEVISION COMPANIES :

' LIES AND DECEIT
AT THE BBC. '

BBC'S BLUE PETER
PROGRAMME AND THE RIGGED COMPETITION. It was discovered after many children
phoned in to the programme in the hope of winning a prize were deliberately
deceived. The winner was already chosen and in the building, but the presenters
carried on the charade throughout the transmission. The BBC was fined for
deceiving the viewers.

BBC'S WATCHDOG
claimed that they had revealed that TINY the Computer firm was having
difficulties and had gone bust. This was not so, they had been contacted by
post and e-mail months earlier by a customer who told them things were not going
well with the computer company.

BBC's COUNTRYFILE
entered into a deception on the 6th of July 2008. The programme tried to make
out that John Craven was live in the transmission. Yet, he was featured in an
old piece showing Somerset --- previously shown a year earlier, no doubt another
piece of intentional deception.

Other BBC FACTS;

' Taxpayer's £3m
bill for luxury flights at the BBC '

FREE WITH THE
LICENCE FEES would be correct, the BBC used over £3m of the taxpayer's money for
staff to enjoy luxury first class seating on planes. A report revealed that BBC
bosses claimed thousands of pounds for hotel accommodation and theatre
reservations etc.

LORD MONCTON
accused the BBC programme of deliberately misrepresenting his views in that they
deliberately showed them out of context suggesting he looked rather insane, not
unlike a 'mad professor ' who didn't really know what he was talking about.
OFCOM are investigating the complaint that the BBC unfairly edited the programme
to disqualify his views as not supportive to his argument, and that they were
biased.

' BBC PAY
COMPENSATION FOR FAILING EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES '

THE BBC MADE A
FIVE FIGURE PAYOUT TO BLIND REPORTER Gary O Donoghue after they stopped him
presenting his own story. The veteran Reporter who mainly worked in Radio was
due to present a feature on the BBC but was suddenly replaced by June Kelly. It
was levied at the BBC that Gary was the victim of discrimination but an internal
inquiry said they could not find any evidence of this.

Internal Inquiry?
would you expect them to find evidence? Not a chance, not at the BBC.

' BBC in apology
over bad taste '

The BBC admitted
it was wrong to show a man being shot dead on a news item. 150 viewers rang the
switchboard to complain about this choice. A spokesman said ' it is not
normally the BBC's policy to show the moment of death, but these kind of
decisions are always hard to make.'

' BBC BOSSES IN
EXPENSES STORM '

BBC EXECUTIVES
MARK THOMPSON, JENNY AMBRAMSKY, JANA BENNETT and TIM DAVIE are accused of using
the expenses situation to spend, spend, spend, all on the taxpayer thank you.
The high paid earners filed £3,780 on overnight stays, £8,889 on entertainment,
and £2,096 on flights and other expenses. Deputy Director Mark Byford claimed
£160 for Prom tickets.

It's not bad
having all that licence money to dip into, is it?

'THE ROSS AND
BRAND INCIDENT '

THE BBC WERE
FORCED TO SUSPEND TWO PRESENTERS, JONATHAN ROSS AND RUSSELL BRAND OVER INSULTS
ON AIR - when they made lewd comments about a family member of Andrew Sachs, the
actor. The two high paid presenters were high and possibly intoxicated when
they issued remarks during a live radio show. Jonathan Ross was immediately
suspended from his prime time BBC show and Russell Brand resigned.

' BBC in another
deception to viewers '

YET AGAIN the BBC
have indulged in fakery, and again they have been discovered. It was revealed
that production staff posed as contest buyers on a buying antiques trip to
France. They pretended to be customers and members of the public during the
programme hosted by Angela Rippon, --- who it is said --- had no knowledge or
part in the deception.

' BBC's Watchdog
Co-Presenter in Benefits Allegations '

DAN PENTEADO, who
works with Matt Alwright on the 'Rogue Traders' section of the Consumer Expose
Show with Ann Robinson, was rudely brought into the News by the revelations
coming out of Bournemouth. The council were accusing the BBC Presenter of
falsely claiming benefits to the amount of £24,000 -- it was stated that he did
not attend the court to face the ten fraud charges against him for the false
claim for benefits during 2008 to 2012. saying that he ' failed to declare a
change of circumstances' It was said that the magistrates had issued a warrant
for his arrest, but this was withdrawn when Mr. Penteado reported into the local
police.

WATCHDOG AGAIN --
THIS TIME IT'S ANNE ROBINSON -- The 'Mean Queen of TV Quizzes' it is reported
that she has avoided paying her tax dues on £4 million. The report says she
joined an aggressive scheme which allowed members just to pay 7p in the
pound....thus escaping the 40 per cent normal rate from the Treasury....it is
stated she is one of the more prominent celebrities involved in Liberty Tax
Strategy.....thus enabling many so-called stars to be sheltered from high tax
rates they don't like paying.....neither do the poor or less well off....but
they can't cheat the system like these people.

THE BBC had its
nose bloodied when a tribunal found the corporation guilty of discrimination.
Presenter Miriam O'Riley took them to court and won. This kind of thing by the
BBC is not the first, similar incidents have occurred at the BBC often disguised
and kept away from the public. Controller Jay Hunt came under fire for the way
in which casual staff are treated -- the word being complacency.

' Row erupts over
BBC Chief's £834,000 salary '

Staff at the BBC
were greatly annoyed to find that their chief Mark Thompson is earning £834,000
a year, and some allege this is corrosive in an industry that claims to be cost
cutting. At a time when morale is low many workers were shocked to hear Radio
4's interview when P.D.James the thriller writer brought up the topic of
executive pay with their boss.

' The Facebook
scandal of the BBC '

THE BBC IS
SQUANDERING THOUSANDS OF POUNDS on teaching staff to use the Internet Facebook
program. Hundreds of BBC workers have already signed up to learn out to set up
accounts on this website, yet the website is free on the point of signing up.
It has already spent £23,000 on two day courses and at a time when the BBC is
supposed to be looking for cuts in spending licence payers cash they appear
oblivious to thrift?

' BBC Director
claims £7,514.80 for his flight to Seoul '

BBC DIRECTOR OF
FUTURE MEDIA ERIK HUGGERS claimed his flight costs on expenses paid by the
licence payers. This arrogance has been denounced as it was discovered that a
cab he ordered cost £627 and £4,984 was spent on a limousine and chauffer over a
three month period.

' BBC Executive
in bid to conceal facts from the public '

BBC BOSS ROBERT
JOHNSON in partnership with PHIL AUSTIN made a deliberate attempt to deceive and
disguise the fact that a number of BBC senior staff were being paid over
£100,000 plus in salaries. In a memo they agreed to disguise the figures and
lower or not mention those in the high pay band making it less obvious.

' BBC ignore pay
crunch and award a pay rise '

The BBC enjoyed
paying out more licence payer's cash despite promises of a tightening in the
costs area -- Seventy per cent of its staff will receive a pay rise of £475.
It is estimated that the wage boost for BBC staff could cost the licence payer
at least another £6million.

'False Promises
and £1million bonuses at the BBC '

The BBC lied and
deceived the public as they do over promises to cut back, yet it has been
revealed that £1m pound bonuses were still being paid out to senior and
executive staff surreptitiously. The report says the BBC was misleading the
public in a big way hoping that it would not be found out. The corporation was
giving rewards to a variety of staff members -- £790,000 in bonuses to 161
members of staff up to April in 2010. More than 382 staff at the BBC are on
£100,000.

THE OVERTIME BILL
AT THE BBC IS £64MILLION!

' BBC Bosses hike
up the Expenses gravy train '

FIGURES PUBLISHED
REVEAL THAT BONUSES ARE TO BE GOING UP BY 7 PERCENT AT THE BBC this year and
every other foreseeable year. Pledges to cut back have been thrown out or
ignored altogether the report says. It says senior management are putting in
their expenses claiming as much as they can and anything else they can think
of. The list published is like the cost of a big do on the Orient Express, but
one for several days and months. The TV Licence payer is being taken for a
ride, a very expensive ride.

' BBC Controller
as shallow as a paddling pool'

PANORAMA Bosses
were caught out in a storm of criticism revealing their weaknesses and conniving
side not seen by the public. Jay Hunt theBBC1 controller was described as
shallow and lacking vision by journalist John Ware who said she patronised
viewers. He said she was obsessed with ratings, a fever that existed throughout
the BBC. John Ware not only worked on Panorama, but Inside Story, Rough
Justice and Taking Liberties.

' Shameful BBC
admitted by Director General Mark Thompson '

THE SHAMEFUL PAST
OF THE BBC WAS FINALLY ADMITTED TO by its boss Mark Thompson who said that the
BBC was institutionally corrupt and totally unfit for purpose. The Tebbit report
about the BBC which was highly accurate about the BBC was branded as libellous,
but Mark Thompson now agrees they were accurate. The BBC chose to spin and lie
about the report.

' More Deception
at the BBC as carmakers sue Topgear Programme '

Just how far and
how many times the BBC will con the public is now looking like many times over.
Deception has yet again been exposed as carmakers are to sue the motoring
programme Topgear over an article they did on an electric powered car. The firm
says the programme used false figures and did not carry out a proper test and
when one considers that the presenters make remarks and conclusions about cars
that the public are keen to see, a lie about a test can have devastating effects
on any sales that manufacturer has hoped for. The BBC declined to comment

'BBC caught out
for telling lies '

THAT BASTION OF
BROADCASTING -- THE BBC have had to make apologies over fake footage in a
Panorama documentary covering a story about Primark. This severely lowers
Panorama's credibility and points to the BBC increasingly reverting to lies and
denials that hold no water. The BBC has been accused of twisting facts and
evidence to make a propaganda point. A body called the BBC Trust was formed to
keep the corporation in line, but this shameful act as shown it to be looking
the other way.

' BBC caught
telling more lies have to issue apology -- worldwide '

THE BBC Don't
seem to know when telling lies becomes a habit --- and this habit has been
revealed yet again, this time over documentaries made by another television
company backed by PR clients and corrupt regimes that paid to have them aired on
national broadcasting equipment. The client broadcaster - FBC Media UK made
eight shows for the BBC concerning Malaysia, yet failed to declare it was paid
£17million by the Malaysian Government for 'global strategic communications'.
The programme was designed to give positive feelings about the controversial
palm oil industry and paint an inaccurate situation to viewers in the West. The
FBC failed to say it was in league with former dictator Hosni Mubarak's regime.
The FBC went into administration last year. The BBC was found guilty of 15
breaches by the Broadcasting Regulator, and it apologised worldwide to viewers
and listeners for the deception.

THE BBC NEWSNIGHT
CHIEF IS SUING THE BBC --- a BBC Editor Jonathan Steer said the BBC failed him
in a duty of care as they knew he had bipolar disorder, yet he was sacked and
accused of bullying.

BBC PAY
CONSULTANTS £8MILLION whilst claiming to be 'cost-cutting' --- A report says the
finance complaining BBC are lavishing millions on consultants amidst stringent
cost cutting drives for advice. Money is spent on how to save money say the
critics, which hardly seems to make sense, especially to the licence payer. Yet
they are about to shed 3,000 jobs.

BBC AT IT AGAIN
WITH BONUSES -- The BBC have given out bonuses of £275,000 to four senior
managers in top up payments, and pay rises to other staff right in the face of a
pledge by boss Mark Thompson who said that bonuses would be scrapped and pay
frozen in light of the squeeze in the economy. It certainly shows that he really
couldn't care less, after all, what can the licence payers do? Nothing I guess,
and he's banking on it.

BBC IN £4MILLION
PAY-OFF TO WORKERS LAID OFF AND THEN CONTINUE WORKING? --- The BBC have
struggled again to explain why workers laid off are given compensation amounting
to £4million, and half of them continue working as normal! This peculiarity
surrounds relocation issues where staff get £57,000 each -- it says this applies
to around 17 people and a further 15 pocket the cash and move to the Salford
Offices anyway -- where they are re-hired in the same jobs.

BBC GARY LINEKER
and the £2million salary plus travel expenses of £15,000. Outrage has emerged
over the fact that Lineker gets a terrific salary from doing BBC Programmes, but
does not pay his own travel bill out of it.

BBC SAYS NOTHING
OVER 'TAX LOOPHOLE' AND STARS --- It was revealed that many stars working for
the BBC are channelling their pay via private companies set up to dodge high
tax. Accusations of 'Off-Payroll' manoeuvres that can cut stars tax bills by
thousands every year were challenged as the BBC went silent amid pressures to
explain this situation to the normal taxpayer. The Government admitted that
2,400 civil servants had been paid through private companies, but were unable to
provide this kind of information on those who worked at the BBC and local
councils?

BBC'S WATCHDOG
AND ROGUE TRADER SIDEKICK JAILED FOR BENEFITS FRAUD -- Dan Penteado the
motorcycle 'comic personality' accompanying Matt Alwright as they pursued rogues
was finally judged to be so himself when he appeared at Bournemouth magistrates
court. He initially claimed that it was all a mistake, but now he is spending
12 weeks in prison for fraudulently claiming £25,000 in benefits. The BBC said
in a statement that Penteado would not be returning to the new series of the
show.

BBC AND THE
INQUIRY INTO 194 £100,000 PAY-OFFS -- News in says the BBC are to be
investigated by the National Audit Office. It was revealed that payoffs to
around 200 managers have been in the region of £100,000 each. The Watchdog on
BBC spending are to start examining the scale of the 'severance' payout deals.

BBC SHAMED BY THE
'JIMMY SAVILE ABUSE SCANDAL' -- Years and years have passed and controllers
turned a blind eye to sex favours being demanded by 'celebrities' and producers
-- Women have come forward to say how Savile abused them and his position as a
'telly good guy'. Jimmy Savile will not be called because he is dead and as
they say 'got away with it' While he cavorted and played the dynamic 'Top of
the Pops' presenter and 'Jim 'll fix it' icon he hid another side -- and used
the mantle of the public image of respectability to conceal his less than
favourable pursuits. Janet Street-Porter revealed that in the 70's when she was
a young presenter, the BBC knew about Jimmy Savile and did nothing, and she said
there were others! She recalled how Savile used his 'Charity fund raising' as a
technique to keep the newspapers in line and back off -- by saying he would hold
back finance to Charities if anything bad was written about him. She also added
that the BBC were not alone in this secrecy, and the ITV commercial networks
were also into covering up this kind of abuse too. Society is to blame, it
helped this rich powerful individual to use his position to have any accusation
thrown out....like other rich powerful men and women, he could influence others
to silence and if necessary, destroy the credibility of those who might stand in
their way....they say power corrupts....it is true.

NB: Gary Glitter
once proclaimed himself a 'people's person, loved by the audience' on a BBC
Pebble Mill broadcast....he turned out to be a paedophile......now we have Jimmy
Savile described as a 'Saviour and wonderful man who pioneered charities ' and
now accused of many abuses of women, children and boys.....so who will we have
next? How many more ' of the great and good' are there hiding behind fame and
fortune?

GARRY GLITTER NOW
ARRESTED in Jimmy Savile Paedophile Investigation. Second time for Glitter in
this country after serving prison time for child porn photos.

Update - Gary Glitter (Paul Gann)
has appeared in court (June 2014).

GARRY GLITTER IS JAILED FOR 16 YEARS
--- The escapist former pop star that claimed to be the best and family's
favourite....is now set to do at least 8 years in prison after being convicted
for sex offences against minors. The 72 year old was driven off to jail
after the sentencing. Paul Gadd, his real identity, said nothing as the
judge announced the sentence at the Crown Court. It must seem an eternity
away from that deal he signed with Virgin Records to do five albums in the 90's
for ? millions, and have the support from the Jeff Hanlon Management.......where
are they now eh?

NEW NEWS ON THE
ABOVE: The Savile Story has now turned to one of 'Suing the BBC' as lawyers
line up 'victims' in big claims....one cannot help seeing some just making up
claims with the help of lawyers as one of our team suggested......the reality
being that compensation lawyers are always in at the trough -- based on greed.
On another note we find that a 'Newsnight Team investigating Savile with a
programme to be broadcast ' was pulled just before other shows went out on air
praising the virtues of Savile!........and nothing more was said.......for a
very long time?

Savile once told
an interviewer ' my legal team are ready' when asked what he did about any
comments made that suggested he'd been molesting or abusing....and it was said
he had 'wiped the floor with his opponents in court'.........one has to look at
these lawyers, and it comes immediately across that having been 'bought' --- it
didn't matter about the truth or Savile's actions......lawyers frequently work
without any moral code whatsoever, and our files show this......they're never
looking for the truth, sometimes more interested in concealing it and making
threats against people who know what the truth is but cannot prove it beyond a
reasonable doubt.

Latest News: It
now appears that lawyers for many abuse victims in the 'Savile' saga will be
suing the BBC and Savile's Estate. Lawyer Alan Collins said a writ has been
issued at the High Court on behalf of 81 alleged victims with another possible
50 still in the pipeline.

Also, a Police
Officer, a former inspector in the West Yorkshire Police Force is being
investigated over links to Savile in that he has been accused of contacting the
Surrey Police before they questioned Saville in 2009.

A BBC Driver has
now been charged in connection with the Savile Inquiry -- David Smith of
Lewisham is said to be the seventh person to be arrested in the Police
Operation. He was charged with 2 counts of indecent assault, 2 counts of gross
indecency and one of serious sexual assault committed in 1984. (they say this
makes eleven arrests since the investigation began).

Incidentally,
recent news says the CPS and Police apologise for their non-action!

THE BBC are now
trying to close this story and go into 'damage limitation' despite further
investigations!

BBC PERSONALITIES
- Dave Lee Travis and Stuart Hall have both been included in Sex Abuse
allegations and had visits from the police in wider investigations involving
what was going on at the BBC. Update -- Dave Lee Travis appeared at Westminster
Magistrates Court to hear that he is to face 11 counts of indecent assault which
go back over a period of 30 years. He briefly conducted an interview
showing his anger at the media.

DAVE LEE TRAVIS was given a three
month suspended jail sentence, but remained unrepentant after the trial was
over. A Journalist said afterwards, that she had seen the other side of Mr
Travis and from our own research it is often true that the smiling stars are not
so wonderful after all.

STUART HALL has
been charged with sex offences the police announced............and following
this we now hear that after many denials Stuart Hall has been found guilty of
child abuse sex charges. The once loved and revered man of 'It's a Knockout'
was not what he represented when over fifty years he hid the fact that he had
committed grossly offensive crimes against the young -- some 13 victims
including a nine year old girl. It was said that he admitted to 14 counts of
sexual assault; a further charge of rape and three other sexual charges were
left on file. The 88 yr old 'star' faces 10 years in prison, and will be
sentenced in June 2013.

Stuart Hall was sentenced to fifteen
months in jail. (his sentence was extended on appeal later)

ROLF HARRIS has
been the next one to fall foul of the fallout from 'The Savile Inquiry' -- It
was said that his lawyers desperately tried to suppress information about him
being arrested in connection with Operation Yew Tree....investigations continue
as Rolf Harris ducks out of TV appearances and show. News Update -- The
CPS have charged Rolf Harris with Indecent Assault -- he is facing nine counts,
which includes the recent 2012 addition of making indecent images on his
pc....most of the other charges relate to the 1980's.

Update: Rolf Harris was convicted on
12 counts of indecent assault and sentenced to 5 years and 9 months in prison.
At Southwark Crown Court they said Harris was 'a Jekyll and Hyde' character who
continued to play the system and fool those around him (much like Savile) and
was greatly admired.

Another Recent
News item revealed that MAX CLIFFORD the well known champion Press Agent for the
wealthy and Showbiz hierarchy has been accused of sex crimes.....and denials
have been instantly uttered!

MR 'WONDERFUL' MAX CLIFFORD
JAILED FOR 8 YEARS -- Loathed by many for his arrogance and assumed 'I'm
Untouchable' --- PR man Clifford was found guilty on eight charges of sexual
abuse. The man who stood for his showbiz clients in other cases, was
sentenced to eight years in prison.

NB: The ghosts of
the past are never quite buried -- skeletons in the closet can be found in the
majority of people, and more so with those who claim to be 'squeaky clean' one
just needs to look for the clues.

BBC FORMER PRESENTER IS JAILED FOR
22 YEARS -- Predatory Paedophile Michael Souter who was with the Norfolk Area
BBC and Radio Clyde broadcaster was convicted of sexually assaulting and abusing
seven boys over a period of two decades. Norwich Crown Court found him
guilty of 26 offences.....indecent assault on a child, serious sexual offences
on a minor and seven counts of possessing indecent images of children.

BBC DJ CHRIS DENNING PLEADS GUILTY
-- Child abuse Case defendant Chris Denning who started on Radio 1 in a pioneer
role after coming from Pirate Radio Ship Caroline...pleaded guilty to 29 counts
of indecent sexual assault on young boys....he denied an additional 12 counts
and will go back to Southwark Crown Court. The case refers to 1970 and
80's activity....he is to remain in custody.

OUTRAGE OVER JONATHAN KING BEING
ON PROGRAMME -- The BBC have fallen into yet another mistake by featuring
convicted sex offender Jonathan King who has just finished three and a half
years in jail for sexual assault on five teenage boys in the 1980's. King
was once a Kingpin of music, doing radio, recording and promotions working at
the BBC with shows 'No Limits' and 'The Great British Song Contest'

THIS FIFTY YEAR
IN THE MAKING SCANDAL POSSIBLY REVEALS THERE ARE OTHER CELEBRITIES INVOLVED.

THE BBC TICKET
SCANDAL -- It seems the BBC never learn and are not likely to either. This time
its another one of those ill-fated competitions.....the report says two fans of
the One Direction boy band paid out £350 to meet their heroes....but suffered a
huge 'letdown' due to Radio One at the BBC. Winners Hannah Hastings and Louisa
Marsden just got an apology! ......lucky them? after being promised the best
seats at a show in Belfast, but ended up with 'restricted viewing' seats and
their special meeting with One Direction not on......it is said that Ofcom are
investigating the case.......they ought to be investigating the BBC.

BBC PROGRAMMES -- 10 MINUTES OF
SUBSTANCE AND 30 MINUTES OF DRAMA -- Such is the state of things shown.
One Viewer in a letter page puts the case very well -- 'The BBC often claim they
make quality programmes --- perhaps they should examine this more closely,
especially with things like 'Cowboy Trap' hosted by Jonnie Irwin who makes sure
he tells you that he was a surveyor, not once but several times....and he
continually repeats himself throughout as they stretch the show to an unbearable
level. He coaxes the victim to make more of the same comments on the same
thing until you get thoroughly bored with his awful presentation which, is
tedious and full of his own ego....somewhat following in the style of that
'celebrity' Dom Littlewood.'

THE BBC LISTINGS
THAT FAIL -- You'd think the programmers would know what they had on daily
listings, especially as they seem to give out the information two weeks in
advance. But no, they invariably cock it up and leave the viewer mystified as
to why it says one thing and suddenly without notice changes it... their
Channels BBC3 and BBC4 aren't up to much either.

BBC REALITY PROGRAMME CALL CENTRE IS
FINED -- The Information Commissioners Office fined two companies owned by the
BBC -- Reality Star Big Nev, We Claim You Gain was fined £100,000 and the
Nationwide Energy Services were fined £125,000. They were fined for
carrying out 'Nuisance Calls'

BBC SILENT ON HACKING REVELATIONS --
The otherwise do-good campaigners went silent with coverage on the revelations
about blue-chip hacking, having given little or no space to the emerging story
of corruption. Whereas they did blanket coverage on Leveson and the stars
such as Hugh Grant --- who also has gone silent!

BBC PANORAMA
PRODUCER SUSPENDED OVER BRIBERY -- Matthew Chapman was suspended by the BBC and
an episode of the Panorama programme pulled.

AUDITING THE BBC? MINISTER
WARNS AGAINST IT? --- A former minister has said the independence of the BBC
could be seriously threatened if the National Audit Office are allowed to
investigate the Corporation when they feel like it. Former Minister James
Purnell did not like it when Culture Secretary Maria Miller said that the
National Audit Office should have 'unlimited access' to the accounts of the BBC,
in order to avoid another repeat of the excessive pay-off scandal.

BBC LINK TO TAX SITUATION FIRM IS
CRITICISED BY WATCHDOG --- The BBC's relationship with a powerful property
company which was criticised for its tax arrangements has sparked fierce
criticism from the Public Accounts Committee who said the Peel Group were not
contributing enough to the Inland Revenue. The BBC have a 20 year lease
with the company on three office buildings in Salford with a rental cost of £171
million, it has a separate 10 year deal at the studios at the site paying £82.8
million.

BBC SHOW MORE CONTEMPT FOR THE
TAXPAYER -- The BBC it has been revealed are getting the taxpayers to pay their
legal bill for a case to sue a union for libel. The Licence fee seems to
be a money pot that can be used to fund a legal action for its 'Head of Human
resources' as she pursues a legal action against the trade union, despite her
nice little annual earner of £320,000. The BBC's Lucy Adams was already
criticised in the executive pay scandal......now she wants her lawyers fees to
be covered as she launches a libel suit against the NUJ for what she says was
'highly defamatory' claims they made.

BBC MISLEAD MP'S --- When Executives
attended a meeting of The Public Accounts Committee. In a report it is
stated that a senior executive could be held in contempt of Parliament after
members of the committee studied a damning report into large pay-offs.....
giving rise to suspicion the BBC misled the committee when they were questioned.
Margaret Hodge Chairperson of the Committee said the BBC bosses seemed to allow
a very liberal use of other people's money (licence-payers).....and that they
also had a culture of 'cronyism'

BBC DISMISSED CHIEF SUES THE BBC --
A Technology Chief at the BBC, John Linwood who was in charge when the BBC
wasted £100million of Licence payers cash is suing the Corporation for
terminating his employment. The £287,000 a year executive is taking legal
action because of the way he was treated and the matter is over 'contractual
obligations'.

SEXUAL HARASSMENT CLAIMS AT THE BBC
-- A number of employees have been disciplined over 'sexual harassment claims'
the report says. Eight staff members have been 'disciplined' over bullying
etc, during 2013 but only one was dismissed. (Apparently there was 42 incidents
of whistleblowers in 2012 reporting matters of misconduct and misbehaviour)

BBC BOSS CREATED CLIMATE OF FEAR! --
Rod McKenzie was named in the matter, and the report says that he was given 'a
final notice' and moved to another post. Mention of a dossier containing
statements that public humiliation was dished out regularly from 17 members of
the BBC's Youth service.

BBC SHOVE UNKNOWNS TO ONE SIDE -- A
report says the BBC should give unknowns a fair chance of TV exposure instead of
using a 'talent pool' they built up and keep using. The actors Union
Equity said that the corporation needs to widen opportunities and be more
transparent about the casting process....certain actors now well established are
appearing almost every month in some play, programme or chat show which appears
unfair. The top agencies are using their power to have big artistes grab
most of the limelight and the BBC are going along with this.

BBC IN UNFAIR DISMISSAL OF TECHNICAL
WORKER -- The BBC were said to be harbouring a culture of blame-shifting coming
from the top executives. This directly affected former technology chief
John Linwood who earned around £280,000 a year after being recruited from Yahoo.
It is said the BBC sacked him in the wake of the £98.4 million collapse of an
attempt to integrate the BBC's digital production system. The tribunal
heard that he became 'the scapegoat' for the company....they ruled that is
dismissal was unfair.

BBC GIVE OUT BONUSES TO STAFF WHO TRACK
LICENCE DODGERS -- The BBC give £1,000 to any member of staff in the
licence enforcement business. This was revealed as it became known that
around 200,000 people are taken to court each year for failing to pay their TV
licence. The firm responsible is CAPITA, which is worth remembering if you
want to do research or investigate them (you might be surprised what you can
find out about them on internet pages). This purge comes as MP's plan to
drop the threat of prison currently connected to this. The suggestion of
'Aggressive methods' being used is not that surprising with the BBC, they don't
seem to use this in connection with 'The Savile Scandal', perhaps the thought of
anyone operating on their turf and exposing stars and workers is something
they'd rather keep locked away as 'private BBC property'

THE BBC PRETEND
TO HAVE A CODE OF CONDUCT -- IT NEVER SEEMS TO WORK.

THE BBC AND ITV COMPANIES HAVE BEEN
ACTIVELY ENGAGING IN COVER-UPS AND FRAUD for many years and no-one has been able
to stop them because they have ways of dodging commissions and inquiries, and
they have stopped some of these in their tracks by using deceitful lawyers who
can turn a trick or too. Many programmes have been changed, taken off and
virtually disappeared when certain people required this, and that includes
Government politicians.....and when it happens there is no explanation given? it
just fades away like the villains that are involved, rich and conniving.......
in case you are wondering about the evidence, which we have trailed......that
disappears too! (A little bit like the Savile Affair which was denied and
not discussed at the time because certain BBC executives and producers wanted it
to be swept under the carpet.... and even now they are hoping nobody will get
any nearer to the truth of what they actually did to hide his crimes. A recent
Newspaper editorial says that BBC Bosses should be in the dock....and that up to
now, not one of them has, which it openly suggests indicates as a curious kind
of justice system that shows no interest in doing so ).

BBC ACCUSED OF ARROGANCE BY AUTHOR
-- Michael Dobbs who wrote 'House of Cards' had a go at the BBC for their
arrogance, both intellectual and organisational. 'The BBC is undermined by
spending scandals and fails to own up to its mistakes' he said. Lord Dobbs
accused the BBC of a left-wing bias in its reporting structure.

BBC IMPARTIALITY FAILS OVER BRAND
--- The silencing of Russell Brand seems to have reporter Nick Robinson, the
usual political face on these issues actively attacking Brand over his opinions
on the 'call me Dave's government'.....the BBC is clearly not acting impartial
according to Derek McMillan of Durrington, Wilts.

CORRUPTION AT THE
BBC IS A WORKING PARTNERSHIP WITH GOVERNMENT NO MATTER HOW MANY DENIALS THEY ISSUE.

' TV Licensing
Scandal of telephone scam to deceive '

BRISTOL AND THE
TV LICENSING CENTRE, a multimillion pound rip-off by the government. They have
a telephone system which we are informed takes the customer through various
options again and again and again. It usually ends up with cutting off the
customer by saying goodbye, when in fact the customer has not got through to
anyone. It is yet again another civil servant blunder that is designed to
infuriate and swindle the licence payer whenever it can. Cancelling a licence
is horrific we are told, it just does not happen if you telephone them, and our
informant tells us they tried three times. Their blurb says if you cancel then
they will check and a threat follows of instituting a fine?

Well, if these
corrupt and licensed thieves offered a decent service and a proper system --
people might just imagine they do a job for the public but right now --- it is
legalised robbery.

' BEHIND THE
CLOSED DOORS OF THE TV LICENSING CENTRE ' -- in our quest to reveal
corruption in Government establishments concerning civil servants, we have
ascertained that quite a number of staff at their licensing centre in Bristol
have convictions for various activities; some being just illegal and others of a
criminal nature besides civil cases, -- yet they continue in employment at the
centre unchecked, thus being allowed to bully and threaten the public (mainly in
the enforcement division). Under an agreement with bosses things are kept
confidential and secretive (out of the public domain) -- something we all see
too often with the current Labour Government -- the Expenses Scandal and torture
cases. Corrupt practises of civil servants are indeed difficult to expose due
to the Lawyers who have the expertise to cover their tracks and tell staff to
utter standard phrases in case it's the press that have come snooping. Attempts
to confirm the names supplied by our insider source were answered by someone at
their offices via the telephone, -- ' we cannot answer the question due to the
data protection act, nor will you find it on a request to the freedom of
information office, we do not disclose personal histories of our staff or
discuss the information you seek with people outside this building ' they
quoted. These facts have been verified by our private investigator Richard
Barrymore whose files support this article.

advertising revenue the then chief executive, Mark Thompson made a request for
